Adonis, the son of award-winning rapper, Drake, has won hearts with his adorable paintings and interactions with both his mother and father. At just four years old, Adonis painted a masterpiece and fans couldn't get enough. Drake is seemingly a doting father, but that wasn't always the case. The rapper was accused of hiding his son back in 2018 by Pusha T, but Drake later introduced Adonis to the world. Although, he revealed that he'd had several DNA tests carried out to prove paternity.
When pictures of Adonis leaked online, fans weren't convinced that he was Drake's son—because of his pale skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes. Adonis' mother, artist Sophie Brussaux, and Drake are seemingly on good terms these days, though the former adult performer was once accused of being a gold digger.
Now that the rapper has embraced his son, Drake fans always gush over Adonis and shower him with praise. But it wasn't always that way.
The rapper and producer have kept his private life out of the spotlight, well, as much of it as he can. That includes Adonis, who occasionally shares pictures and videos of, to the delight of his fans. The video of his 4-year-old son giving him a French lesson garnered over 12 million likes and fans like seeing that side of the artist.
Sophie publicly shares her life with Adonis more than the rapper does. Her Instagram account is full of adorable pictures of her and her son. It's unclear as to where their relationship stands, but they're cordial and co-parenting well. Sophie even took to Instagram to wish Drake a happy Father's Day in 2022.
Back in 2018, news agencies reported that. Drake’s rep issued a statement saying, "This woman has a very questionable background. She has admitted to having multiple relationships. We understand she may have problems getting into the United States. She’s one of many women claiming he got them pregnant. These claims have always proven to be unfounded. If it is Drake’s child, which he does not believe, he would do the right thing by the child."
After the whole Pusha T fiasco, Drake announced to the world that he had a son in his 2017 album, Scorpion. Fans caught a glimpse of Adonis on Sophie's Instagram account when he was a toddler, but the rapper was still keeping him off social media. At this point, Drake was being called a "deadbeat dad" for not posting any pictures of his son.
According to Mirror, Drake revealed, "To be honest with you, I did a DNA test for my son, and it came back to us, and it said the DNA test got ruined in transit, and they couldn’t be 100 percent sure that that was my son or not. I was in a really weird pending situation where I didn’t want to go tell the world that that was my son, and it wasn’t."
He added, "If you see my son, you understand why… He’s a stunning child you know, with the brightest blue eyes and at the time I was like 'I don’t know.'" He added, "It took me two more solid [DNA] tests with two different companies."
