Drake has surprised many by posting a series of photos of his son, Adonis Graham, who will be three years old in October.
The Canadian rapper and French painter/artist Sophie Brussaux, who welcomed Adonis in 2017, kept the news under wrap for many reasons.
Drake and the former adult star had a one-night stand while in the Netherlands, and it seems he was not interested in having a relationship with her.
While Sophie was delighted to post photos of her pregnancy and her baby shower on social media, Drake stayed quiet and was busy with his lawyers getting papers drawn for a paternity test.
The confirmation of Drake having a child was made in the diss track called “The Story of Adidon” by rapper Pusha T that was released in May of 2018.
To take back control of the narrative, Drake decided to reveal to the world that he is indeed a father in two of his songs from his Scorpion album.
In “Emotionless” Drake says: “I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world/I was hiding the world from my kid /”I had to come to terms with the fact that it’s not a maybe. That s*** is in stone, sealed, and signed. She’s not my lover like Billie Jean, but the kid is mine. S***, we only met two times.”
In “March 14,” he sings: “‘Single father’ I hate when I hear it. I challenged my parents on every album, and now I’m embarrassed to tell them I’m a co-parent. Always promised a family unit. I wanted it to be different because I’ve been through it.”
Drake decided to end the speculations and drama by posting a few photos of his family. In one picture, Adonis is sitting in a white toy car next to a huge teddy bear, while another features Drake, Sophie, and Adonis all posing together.
Drake also shared photos of his parents, Dennis Graham and Sandi Graham, before they got divorced.
The rapper posted the photos of his adorable son along with an uplifting message for his 64 million Instagram followers, who are all concerned by the coronavirus lockdown restrictions.
Drake also confessed that he is not with his family, and he is starting to miss them.
He wrote: “What is most important for you right now is to connect to your own inner light. This will create the biggest opening of all. Trust that you have all of the power within to make this happen, and in order to do that, connect to the people and things that bring you a lot of joy. When the mind starts to move into overthinking or fear, shift your attention right away to something bright. It doesn’t matter what has happened in the past or what is happening around us now, and you can always make a choice to break free of the wheel of suffering and panic and open up to your own light. We are powerful manifestors, so once you make the choice in the moment to shift your awareness to something good, it will show you in your reality. Be conscious, especially right now of fears coming in from others, and recognize that not everything should be held by you. ”
He added:
He added: “Laughter is your best medicine, but tears can also be a powerful release. Let go of any judgment you may have around that. Remember that you are never alone, and if you need to be reminded of that, ask for support, and it will show up. Everything comes down to intention, and even though there are conflicting energies circling around us, you must KNOW…It will rebuild. But in order for that to happen, you have to do exactly that. Trust. You have the biggest heart, and that is your greatest gift. It’s impossible to always control your surroundings, but when you shift the focus to how you want to feel, everything will conspire to assist you. I love and miss my beautiful family and friends, and I can’t wait for the joyful day when we are all able to reunite. Until then, please keep your lights on.”
The never-before-seen images quickly went viral.
