Celebrating his sixth birthday, the rapper shares a music video of his son’s debut single, an expanded version of the refrain rapped by Adonis on ‘Daylight,’ off Drake’s recent album For All the Dogs.
Adonis Graham releases his debut single at just six years old, quickly following in his famous father’s footsteps. Drake shared his son’s music video for ‘My Man Freestyle’ today, celebrating his sixth birthday with a jumpstart to his music career.
The video shows Adonis and his friends playing basketball indoors, with Drake’s son instructing his fellow players on game strategy and giving a pep talk, working out and singing along with his friends to the track.
Adonis also featured on Drake’s recently released album For All the Dogs, for which the child drew the album cover art. He appeared in the beginning of the video for album single ‘8am in Charlotte,’ showing off a drawing of a goat he made. When Drake asks him, from behind the camera, about the drawing, Adonis says, “It’s Daddy Goat,” to which Drake replies, “That makes perfect sense to me.”

Adonis, the child of Drake and French artist Sophie Brussaux. Brussaux and the Canadian rapper had a short and mostly private relationship in 2017, first photographed on a date in Amsterdam during the rapper’s Boy Meets World Tour.
Born October 2017, the rapper waited until 2020 to share Adonis with the public, explaining that he wanted the freedom of keeping his son private during the early years of his life.
However, he first confirmed his fatherhood on the 2018 album Scorpion, rapping, “I wasn’t hidin’ my kid from the world / I was hidin’ the world from my kid.”
