Early Wednesday morning, the “In My Feelings” hitmaker, 32, showed off a painting seemingly given to him for Christmas from his 14-month-old son Adonis, whom he shares with French artist and former adult-film star Sophie Brussaux.
The colorful rendering, presented in an understated white frame, featured yellow, blue, red and green abstracts with unmistakable hand prints throughout.
Drake confirmed the long-rumored news that he fathered a child with Brussaux on numerous tracks on his double album Scorpion, which was released in June.
In “Emotionless,” Drake declares, “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,” he adds.
On an October episode of LeBron James‘ unscripted HBO series The Shop, Drake raved about his son — even showing James and the athlete’s business partner Maverick Carter photos of the “beautiful” boy on his phone.
“[He has] crazy blue eyes — baby-blue eyes,” the “Hotline Bling” rapper said, adding, “He’s already in the pool shooting the basketball.”
“I’m just excited,” Drake said of fatherhood, explaining he’s been drawing on “all of the things I’ve learned from and through my father and the incredible things I’ve learned through my mother about patience, about unconditional love.”
