Your support makes all the difference.Drake has shared a never-before-seen photo of his two-year-old son Adonis to celebrate Father’s Day.
On Sunday, the In My Feelings singer posted an Instagram photo of his son, who he shares with Sophie Brussaux, on Instagram, writing: “Happy Fathers Day to all the real g’z handling business.”
The 33-year-old also tagged his own father, Dennis Graham, in the photo, which shows two-year-old Adonis sitting up in bed wearing pyjamas.
On his Instagram Stories, the Toronto-born rapper also shared a video of Adonis finding a present for him, an outdoor toy basketball court.
Drake first posted photos of his son in March, writing in a lengthy Instagram caption amid the coronavirus pandemic: “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. Until then please keep your lights on.”
In May, the rapper explained in an interview with Young Money Radio with Lil Wayne that he decided to share the first photos of his son because he wanted to share them with the world.
“I posted those pictures; it was great for me,” Drake said, according to Harper’s Bazaar. “It was great to just share that with the world. It wasn't even anything I talked to anybody about or anything I planned. I just woke up one morning, and I was like, you know what? This is just something that I want to do.”
The father-of-one also said he wants to “be able to go places with my son and share memories with my son”.
“I don't want to feel like just because of a life choice I made to be, you know, a 'celebrity,' that I got to make everybody live under this blanket," he added. "I just wanted to free myself of that."
