Drake, who won Artist of the Decade at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday, focused on his “beautiful” family and one adorable, yapping toddler.
Along with hits like “Best I Ever Had,” “Find Your Love,” and “Hotline Bling,” as well as songs like “God’s Plan,” “In My Feelings,” and “Toosie Slide,” the rapper-singer was actually bestowed with the award by a group of family and friends onstage outside the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.Then Drake brought out his kid Adonis, three, who had blonde cornrows, and asked him if he wаnted to touch the trophy.
The 34-year-old rapper said in his victory speech, “The trutɺ is, I’m really bad at taking compliments,” as Adonis hid between his legs. “I’m really self-conscious when I perform, and even when I do well, I always think about how I could have done it better. Normally, I don’t celebrate events.
A few moments later, the endearingly quiet toddler—Drake’s son with former pоrn star Sophie Brussaux—was being hauled off stage by his laughing father while he was throwing a full-fledged tantrum.In 2018, the first rumors about Drake’s fatherhood over the adult entertainer began to circulate. At the time, Pusha T, Drake’s rival rapper, claimed in a diss track that Drake was father to a son. As a result, in his album “Scorpion,” the former cast member of “Degrassi” formally acknowledged Adonis’ existence.

In the song “Emotionless,” Drake finally spoke out, stating, “I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world / I was hiding the world from my kid.” Another verse in the song said, “From empty souls who just wake up and look to debate / Until you’re starin’ at your seed, you could never relate.”Regarding his extraordinary musical success, Drake admitted to the Billboards audience, “To be really honest with you, I don’t quite understand it myself.” All I know is that I’ve spent a ton of time trying to determine what went wrong. But tonight, I’m sure we did something, if nothing else.
