Drake’s son, Adonis Graham, has made headlines with his adorable looks and adventures over the years.
The Canadian rapper, whose real name is Aubrey Graham, welcomed Adonis with French artist Sophie Brussaux in October 2017. The duo have parented their little boy together despite not being in a relationship.
Here’s everything to know about Adonis.
Drake shares Adonis with Sophie Brussaux
The “One Dance” musician welcomed Adonis with French artist Sophie Brussaux in 2017.
The pair, who are not in a relationship, have co-parented their little boy together.
Brussaux, who is known for her vivid and colorful paintings of celebrities, calls herself the “mom to the greatest little human in the known universe and beyond” in her official Instagram bio.
She has shared photos of Adonis in the past to document special milestones in his life.
In September 2023, she posted a since-deleted photo of herself smiling next to her son and captioned it, “This is grade 1.”
Drake confirmed he’d become a dad on his 2018 album, ‘Scorpion’
Drake, who previously didn’t speak publicly about Adonis, appeared to confirm rumors that he had become a first-time dad on his 2018 double album, “Scorpion.”
“I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid,” he raps on “Emotionless.”
Later on the album, on a song called “March 14,” he rearranges famous Michael Jackson lyrics to say, “That s— is in stone, sealed and signed/ She not my lover like Billie Jean but the kid is mine.”
He goes on to rap about the unease of welcoming a child outside of a relationship:
“I’m out here on front lines just trying to make sure that I see him sometimes/ It’s breaking my spirit/ Single father, I hate when I hear it,” he raps.
“I used to challenge my parents on every album/ Now I’m embarrassed to tell them I ended up as a co-parent/ Always promised the family unit,” he continues. “I wanted it to be different because I’ve been through it.”
Adonis is bilingual
In 2022, Drake shared a cute video (which has since been deleted) of his then-4-year-old son speaking French.
The clip showed the father and son chatting about various topics before Adonis asked his father if he wanted to learn to speak French.
Adonis then spoke several sentences of French himself.
When Drake asked his son to translate what he said, Adonis responded, “I said when you’re older, you’re all broken and you’re going to turn back into space.”
“Is that really what you said or are you just making stuff up?” Drake asked, laughing.
The video ended with Drake telling his son, “You’re a funny guy.”
Adonis can rap like his dad
On Oct. 15, 2023, Drake released a video that showed his son rapping on his own song called “My Man Freestyle.”
In the video, Adonis is seen playing basketball with friends, lifting weights and conducting a mock press conference with Drake by his side. All the while, he raps his own verses with no help from his dad.
Adonis is also a talented visual artist
Adonis appeared as a guest star in his dad’s video for the song “8am in Charlotte,” off Drake’s 2023 album, “For All the Dogs.”
The video kicks off with a father-son conversation about a drawing Adonis made. “Adonis, tell me about your beautiful piece of artwork that you sold me,” Drake asks off camera as curly-haired Adonis looks at his illustration.
As Drake continues questioning his son about a goat in his drawing, Adonis cutely explains that the animal’s name is Daddy Goat.
Drake later asks his son to reveal how much he sold his “beautiful drawing” for, which makes Adonis scoff. “Oh, please,” says the little boy as the first notes of “8am in Charlotte” begin.
Father and son enjoy attending NBA games together
Drake and Adonis have been photographed at multiple NBA games over the years.
The “God’s Plan” rapper is an enthusiastic fan of his hometown team, the Toronto Raptors, so it’s no surprise the father-son duo have been spotted at the team’s games.
The pair attended the Raptors‘ win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Dec. 7, 2022.
Earlier the same month, Drake shared a video in his Instagram stories that showed his little boy shooting hoops.
He previously opened up about his son’s love of basketball in 2018.
“He’s already in the pool shooting the basketball,” he gushed on an episode of HBO’s “The Shop” with LeBron James.
They also like to share hairstyles
In August 2023, Drake posted a photo on Instagram that showed him braiding Adonis’ hair to look just like his own.
The rapper and his son had sported matching hairstyles before then. Drake celebrated Adonis’ 5th birthday on Oct. 11, 2022, by sharing a photo of his son with braided hair.
“Happy 5th to my twin,” he wrote in his caption.
Drake has brought Adonis onstage with him at awards shows
In May 2021, Drake brought Adonis onstage with him when he accepted the prestigious Artist of the Decade Award at the Billboard Music Awards.
Adonis, then 3, hugged Drake’s leg while Drake gave his acceptance speech.
When the rapper began dedicating his award to his “beautiful family,” fussy Adonis started crying and tried to walk away.
“Hey, wait, wait, wait,” Drake said, picking up his son.
“And to you! I wanna dedicate this award to you,” Drake told his little boy.
Adonis celebrated his 7th birthday with a ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’-themed party
Drake marked Adonis’ 7th birthday in October 2024 by sharing photos on Instagram of him and his little boy celebrating at a “SpongeBob SquarePants”-themed party.
“Big Don,” the proud dad captioned the pics, adding an arrow-through-heart emoji.
Drake shared two follow-up carousels of photos. One set of pics showed Adonis playing soccer and having fun with friends. “Baby goat you are different,” Drake wrote in his caption.
