Drake shares first photos of his 2-year-old son
Monday on Instagram, Drake shared a message of introspection and gave a glimpse into his personal life, including sharing the first public photos of his son, Adonis.
The “In My Feelings” rapper posted a handful of photos of his 2-year-old son on Instagram, with a message of hope to his millions of fans who may be dealing with separation from their family and loved ones during the coronavirus pandemic.
“What is most important for you right now is to connect to your own inner light. This will create the biggest opening of all,” the 33-year-old rapper wrote. “Trust that you have all of the power within to make this happen, and in order to do that connect to the people and things that bring you a lot of joy.
“When the mind starts to move into overthinking or fear, shift your attention right away to something bright. It doesn’t matter what has happened in the past or what is happening around us now, you can always make the choice to break free of the wheel of suffering and panic and open up to your own light.”
The images of Drake’s son were the first he posted for the public. Other photos in the Instagram slideshow were of his parents and a photo of the rapper, whose real name is Aubrey Graham, Adonis and the mother of his child, former adult film star Sophie Brussaux.
Drake has spoken about his son in several interviews, detailing how he took several paternity tests to confirm the genetic tie with the child in a recent interview with Rap Radar’s Elliott Wilson. He also mentioned his son in the 2018 hit “God’s Plan.”
The actor and performer alluded to being separated from his family in the post. The rapper reportedly tested negative for coronavirus after spending time with Brooklyn Nets player Kevin Durant, who tested positive. Since then, Drake is back to self-quarantining in his Toronto mansion, according to Hot New Hip Hop. There are reports the lyricist could be working on a coronavirus song. No word on the validity of that rumor.
In the Instagram post, Drake confirmed he was hopeful he would be able to reunite with his family and connect with fans soon.
“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,” he wrote.
