Drake shares a silly father-son moment with his fans.
The Certified Loverboy The 34-year-old rapper shared a photo of his three-and-a-half-year-old son Adonis on Instagram on Monday, citing London as the location of the photo and showing his boy sticking his tongue out at the camera and stretching out his arms.
“I hear you boy 💖,” wrote Drake, who also changed his Instagram profile picture to a picture of Adonis.
On his new hit album, Drake references co-parenting and fatherhood, but does not mention Adonis by name. The album’s first song, “Champagne Poetry,” which samples The Beatles’ “Michelle,” sums up his past few years, including recent events in the world and his co-parenting relationship with Sophie Brussaux since Adonis’ birth in October 2017.

“Papi’s Home,” Drake’s second song on the album, also contains a reference to Adonis, as Drake raps, “I left my only son,” adding, “See, your mother raised a fine young man. Papa’s home. And I know I missed so much in your life.”
Drake has proudly embraced his fatherly duties, sharing photos and tributes of Adonis on social media. In May, when he was honored with the Artist of the Decade award at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards, Drake was joined onstage by his son during a surprise performance.
At the live event, Adonis burst into tears as his father finished his speech. “I want to dedicate this award to you,” Drake said with a laugh after picking up his son and hugging him.
