When that hotline bling, that can only mean one thing.
Well, in this case at least, it’s probably a birthday message for Drake, who turns 40 Oct. 24.
And you could say the rapper’s 30s were nonstop. During this time, Drake—a.k.a. Aubrey Graham—released seven studio albums (three this year alone), won four Grammys and was named Billboard’s Artist of the Decade in 2021. Of course, there were also his headline-making romances as well as his public feud with Kendrick Lamar.
But perhaps one of the biggest plot twists for Drake was becoming dad to son Adonis with Sophie Brussaux, which he revealed on his 2018 album Scorpion following speculation the year before.
“I wasn’t hidin’ my kid from the world,” he rapped on the “Emotionless” track. “I was hidin’ the world from my kid.”
Two years later, Drake introduced Adonis to the world by sharing the first photos of his then-2-year-old.
“I want to be able to go places with my son and share memories with my son,” he explained on Young Money Radio With Lil Wayne in 2020. “I don’t want to feel like just because of a life choice I made to be, you know, a ‘celebrity’ that I gotta make everybody live under this blanket.”
