Good morning to proud dad Drake.
On Wednesday, the rapper took to Instagram to post a photo of his two-year-old son Adonis before his first day of school.
In the photo, Adonis is standing outside near an SUV, wearing an all-black outfit, and looking at the camera like he knows this is about to be broadcast to Drake's 72 million followers.
Drake also tagged Adonis' mom, Sophie Brussaux, making it a bit unclear who actually took the photo.
Drake first revealed to the world that he had a son back in June 2018, though he didn't share a photo of him until March 2020.
At the time, people were just beginning the long months of quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Drake posted a gallery of photos on Instagram, writing: '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.'
Then this June, for Father's Day, he posted another shot of Adonis and wrote: 'Happy Fathers Day to all the real g'z handling business 🌍.'
Though Drake keeps his life as a dad fairly private, he spoke about Adonis on his 2018 double album Scorpion. In his song 'Emotionless', Drake says:
'I wasn’t hidin' my kid from the world / I was hidin' the world from my kid/ From empty souls who just wake up and looked to debate / Until you starin' at your seed, you can never relate / Breakin’ news in my life, I don’t run to the blogs / The only ones I wanna tell are the ones I can call / They always ask, "Why let the story run if it's false?" You know a wise man once said nothin' at all.'
Then on the song 'March 14', Drake says:
'Now it’s rough times, I'm out here on front lines / Just tryin' to make sure that I see him sometimes / It’s breakin' my spirit / Single father, I hate when I hear it / 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 / I wanted it to be different because I've been through it.'
