Drake has revealed he had two DNA tests done before he stunned the world on Monday by sharing the first pictures of his adorable son Adonis.
The rapper had initially kept his two-year-old child’s birth a secret; but shared a string of photos to Instagram showing off his blue-eyed, blonde curly-haired boy for the first time.
Check out the post below:
Drake, 33, went viral after rapping on the 2018 track March 14. “I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid,” he said.
During an interview with Rap Radar which was released in December last year, Drake said he had to get DNA tests for him to be sure he truly was his son.
“To be honest with you, I did a DNA test for my son. It came back to us saying the DNA test got ruined in transit; they couldn’t be 100 percent sure that that was my son or not,” he said.
“So, I was in a really weird pending situation where I didn’t want to go tell the world that that was my son and it wasn’t.”
Drake alluded to his son’s pale skin, blue eyes and blond hair and laughed. He said, “If you see my son you understand why.”
“It actually wasn’t until a week before the album came out that I got confirmation that that was definitely my son.”
The rapper then revealed: “It took me two more solid [DNA] tests with two different companies.”
The Story of Adidon
In 2018, rapper Pusher T released a diss track entitled The Story of Adidon. In the song, he claimed Drake was hiding a secret child with a porn star.
Having initially kept the news a secret, Drake confirmed he had fathered a child from a brief fling. He opened up about fatherhood on his 2017 album Scorpion.
Drake said he was ashamed of the fact that he had a child by a woman he had only met twice before the birth of his son.
The rapper’s mindset appears to have changed as he posted the snaps and gushed over his toddler. He revealed he was missing his son, who is currently isolating from separately due to the coronavirus pandemic.
