The latest development in the ongoing feud between Drake and Pusha-T is likely the juiciest one yet. On Tuesday, following a long, long weekend of new songs with not-so-subtle lyrics, a “career reviving” invoice, and even in the involvement of one Kim Kardashian, Pusha released yet another diss track for Drake. On “The Story of Adidon,” Pusha is quick to bring back the long-rumored belief that Drake fathered an illegitimate child last year with someone named Sophie, believed to be former porn star Sophie Brussaux.
The song, which samples from Jay-Z’s “The Story of O.J.” (which itself is a sample of Nina Simone’s “Four Women”), also mentions Drake’s mom (“Marriage is somethin’ that Sandi never had”), his dad (“Dennis Graham stay off the gram, bitch”), and Beyoncé. According to Pusha, Drake’s alleged mini-me is named Adonis, which also may or may not be the name of Drake’s upcoming Adidas collaboration. Here are the lyrics you should study:
Sophie knows better, ask your baby mother
Cleaned up her IG, but the stench is on her
A baby’s involved, it’s deeper than rap
We talkin’ character, let me keep with the facts
You are hiding a child, let that boy come home
Deadbeat motherfucker, playing border patrol
Adonis is your son
And he deserves more than an Adidas press run, that’s real
Love that baby, respect that girl
Forget she’s a porn star, let her be your world
As TMZ reported in May 2017, Brussaux hired a New York City-based lawyer for a possible paternity suit after claiming that she was three-and-a-half months pregnant. What’s more, the woman alleged that Drake urged her over text to get an abortion. In response, Drake’s reps told TMZ that Brussaux had a “questionable background,” was possibly having trouble getting into the United States, had admitted to being in multiple relationships, and was “one of many women” claiming to be pregnant with the rapper’s baby. “If it is in fact Drake’s child, which he does not believe, he would do the right thing by the child,” the rep added.
Brussaux’s Instagram account has been made private in wake of Pusha’s song, but Vulture was able to nab this before she made the switch.
According to BET, Brussaux gave birth on Oct. 24, the same day Drake turned 31. Make of this what you will.
Update 5/31, 12:50 p.m.: TMZ sources reveal that Drake has been providing financial support to Brussaux since just before she gave birth. Additionally, Drake has plans to take a DNA test and was working on revealing “everything about his new son” on a new album. Drake himself has yet to comment on the rumored baby, but he did respond to the single’s cover art — a young Drake in blackface. On Wednesday night, he wrote via Instagram Stories that the 2007 photo was part of “a project that was about young black actors struggling to get roles, being stereotyped and type cast.”
