Who is Drake's son, Adonis?

Adonis Graham was born on October 11, 2017, making him six years old.

His middle name is 'Mahbed' which some fans speculate is a reference to Drake's hit God's Plan, as his name sounds like the lyrics: "I only love my bed and my mama."

Drake shielded Adonis from the media until he posted a photo series on his Instagram account on March 30, 2020.

The photo set included pictures of Adonis and Drake's parents.

Adonis appeared at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards alongside his father, who won the Artist of the Decade Award.

In February 2023, Adonis made an appearance in his dad's interview with Barstool Sports. The 11-minute clip opens with Adonis drinking from a juice box and answering questions from host Caleb Pressley.

Adonis lives with his mother, Sophie Brussaux, in Paris, France, despite Drake living in Toronto, Canada.

The 37-year-old rapper also has a property in California and splits his time between the two.

It is assumed Drake visits from time to time in his private jet.

Who is his mother Sophie Brussaux?

Brussaux is an award-winning artist with exhibits in cities including New York, Milan, and London.

It has been reported that Sophie met Drake in January 2017 and Sophie became pregnant with their child almost immediately after.

In January 2017, Sophie was spotted having dinner with the Canadian star, while on a trip to Amsterdam.

Then in May 2017, she told TMZ that she was receiving texts from Drake asking her to get an abortion after telling him she was pregnant.

At the time Drake's rep said: "If it is, in fact, Drake's child, which he does not believe, he would do the right thing by the child."

However, it wasn't until June 2018 that Drake finally admitted he was the father of Sophie's son.

Sophie shared a video in May 2020 of Adonis saying "dada" and speaking French.

What songs does Drake reference Adonis?

Pusha T revealed Drake’s secret son in his 2018 diss track, The Story Of Adidon.

Drake stayed silent on the claims until he released his 2018 album, Scorpion, where he came clean about his son to the entire world.

March 14 is about the moment Drake received the news that Adonis was his son.

He sings about the story of his relationship with Brussaux, hoping that they can be good co-parents.

In another song on the album, Emotionless, Drake sings: “I wasn’t hidin’ my kid from the world / I was hidin’ the world from my kid.”

This is why Adonis was kept out of the limelight for so long.

Since Drake's beef with Kendrick Lamar escalated in 2024, the two rappers have traded diss tracks aimed at each other.

In the six-minute song Euphoria, Kendrick references Adonis and accuses Drake of not raising his son.

"I got a son to raise but I can see you don't know nothing 'bout that," Kendrick raps on the track.
