It seems that Drake warmed up to becoming a father eventually, but wanted to shield his son from the spotlight. After sharing the news of Adonis' existence, both Drake and Sophie Brussaux have posted snaps of their son. According to People, the rapper has come clean about the struggles he and Brussaux have had over the years. On his latest album, he raps, "I walked out on my only son." He continues, "See your mother raised a fine young man. Daddy's home. And I know I missed so much of your life."
The outlet also notes that Drake has since taken his fatherly role in stride, posting pictures of Adonis and bringing him out to public events. SCMP notes that the boy's mother used to have roles in music videos but has since gone on to become a successful artist. She's even shared a photo of herself meeting the pope.
"We have found ourselves in a situation and we are both equally responsible. Now, I'm just really excited to be a great father," Drake said on an episode of Lebron James' show "The Shop". "No matter what happens, I have unconditional love for the mother of my child. I want him to love his mother and I have to project that energy."
