Drake is a dad - according to his new album.
The 31-year-old rapper had been rumoured to have secretly fathered a child with former porn star Sophie Brussaux, but now he’s admitted in the lyrics to his new release Scorpion which dropped last week.

In the track Emotionless, he revealed: “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.”
And in March 14, he pays homage to Michael Jackson’s track Billie Jean, describing his relationship with Sophie, while referencing his mom, Sandi Graham.
He raps: “She’s not my lover like Billie Jean but the kid is mine / Sandi used to tell me all it takes it one time, and all it took was one time / S***, we only met two times, two times.
“I used to challenge my parents on every album / Now I’m embarrassed to tell them I ended up as a co-paren / Always promised the family unit / I wanted it to be different because I’ve been through it.”
Drake reveals more information about the baby on the track, including that the little boy was born on 11 October and he celebrated in Miami, Florida, when a DNA test confirmed his paternity.
