Rapper Drake was accused of keeping his son Adonis a secret as he felt ashamed to have had a baby with an ex-porn star whom he had met just twice before the birth of the boy. 

Drake had Adonis with former porn star Sophie Brussaux in 2017. However, the rapper did not reveal anything about his son and did not acknowledge him until the following year.

Before Drake announced to the public that he had become a father, rapper Pusha T called him out and accused him of hiding his son given Sophie's earlier profession. Initially, Drake and his team had denied the claims and had also called Sophie a liar.

At the time, a spokesperson from Drake's team had told TMZ that Sophie had a "questionable" background in 2018. "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," the spokesperson shared. 

"If it is, in fact, Drake's child, which he does not believe, he would do the right thing by the child," the rep had added. In the 2018 track titled 'The Story of Adidon', Pusha T told Drake to "forget she's a porn star" and welcome his son.

He rapped, "You are hiding a child, let that boy come home. Deadbeat mothaf***a, playin' border patrol, ooh. Adonis is your son. And he deserves more than an Adidas press run, that's real. Love that baby, respect that girl. Forget she's a porn star, let her be your world, yuugh!"

Later that same year, Drake opened up about his son in his own song 'Emotionless' where he insisted that he had not been hiding his son.

"I wasn't hiding my kid from the world/I was hiding the world from my kid. Breakin' news in my life I don't run to the blogs/ The only ones I wanna tell are the ones I can call. I had to come to terms with the fact that it’s not a maybe. That s**t is in stone, sealed and signed. She's not my lover like Billie Jean, but the kid is mine. S**t, we only met two times," the lyrics read.

He also spoke about being 'embarrassed' to tell his parents about Adonis. "I used to challenge my parents on every album. Now I'm embarrassed to tell them I ended up as a co-parent. Always promised the family unit. I wanted it to be different because I've been through it," he said. 

We had earlier reported that Drake had finally shown some pictures of Adonis. The 'God's Plan' rapper posted a series of pictures, one of which has him standing alongside his former porn star baby mama as he introduced his son to the world.

Alongside the pictures, Drake wrote a long caption about how he could not wait to reunite with his 2-year-old son, indicating they were isolating separately given the coronavirus pandemic. He had shared, "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."
