Drake, who is notoriously private about his son, Adonis, shared his first-ever photos of the 2-year-old in a heartfelt post about wanting to reunite with his family and friends amid coronavirus social distancing.
Drake posted several photos of Adonis, including one in which he’s shown holding his son next to Sophie Brussaux, Adonis’ mother. In others, the toddler is taking a sip from a cup and sitting in a big toy car. Drake also shared a throwback photo of his parents, Dennis and Sandy Graham.
“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 rapper wrote in a lengthy, motivational caption, calling on his fans to “connect to your own inner light” and focus on the good left in the world.
The rapper rarely mentions his son to the public, but shared a painting his son made on Instagram over the holidays in 2018.
In 2018, Rapper Pusha T released a diss track titled “The Story of Adidon” in which he claimed that Drake was hiding a secret child that he had with Brussaux.
Drake confirmed he fathered a son named Adonis with the release of his album “Scorpion” in June 2018. On one track, “Emotionless,” Drake raps: “I wasn’t hidin’ my kid from the world, I was hidin’ the world from my kid.”
Drake is staying home and practicing social distancing due to public health concerns about COVID-19.
