The 6 God shared a handful of photos from his son’s birthday bash on Instagram, including a photo of him and Adonis posing in front of a balloon-filled backdrop that read “Adonis races into 4.” He captioned the photo with, “TEACHA MORE LIFE KID,” alongside sparkling heart emojis.
Drake also posted an adorable daddy-son photo booth moment showing him laughing away as Adonis as strikes a Superman pose, along with an Instagram Story video of Adonis holding hands with the person in the Space Jam-themed Bugs Bunny suit.

Nicki Minaj, Offset and Fat Joe were among Drake’s famous friends who wished Adonis a happy birthday in the comments section. “HBD ADONIS,” Nicki wrote along with four love heart emojis, while Offset put, “Hbd king.”
Adonis was born on October 11, 2017 to Drake and Sophie Brussaux, an artist and former adult film actress. His identity was first revealed to the world by Pusha T during his infamous spat with Drake in the summer of 2018. “You are hiding a child, let that boy come home/Deadbeat muthafucka playin’ border patrol,” Push rapped on “The Story of Adidon.”
Drake has since embraced fatherhood, sharing intimate moments with Adonis on social media and even bringing him out on stage at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards.
