So Drake finally shared pictures of his two-year-old son, Adonis Graham, on Monday after being reluctant to reveal his son to the world.
In a lengthy Instagram post, the rapper shared multiple images of him and Adonis, his parents, his baby mamma Sophie Brussaux, as well as Adonis playing with toys.
The 33-year-old wrote: “What is most important for you right now is to connect to your own inner light.
“This will create the biggest opening of all. Trust that you have all of the power within to make this happen, and in order to do that, connect to the people and things that bring you a lot of joy.
“When the mind starts to move into overthinking or fear, shift your attention right away to something bright.
“It doesn’t matter what has happened in the past or what is happening around us now, you can always make the choice to break free of the wheel of suffering and panic and open up to your own light.
“Be conscious, especially right now of fears coming in from others, and recognize that not everything should be held by you. Laughter is your best medicine, but tears can also be a powerful release ...(sic)”

What followed was a lot of mixed reactions from Twitter.
Some dissed Drake, whose son has blonde hair and blue eyes, forgetting that Drake’s mom has the same hair colour.
Drake just posted his son Adonis for the first time today @ 5am. He's probably in his feelings right now but his son is so cute! I didn't expect him to be blond+blue eyes but his Mom has blond hair+blue eyes so it's entirely possible, before all you bitches say, "that's not his." pic.twitter.com/LzGqfXvoYd

Now we understand what Drake meant when he said he wasn’t hiding his son from the world, he was hiding the world from his son. The streets can be so cold.
Sophie, a former porn actress, took the shade in her stride though, sharing a picture of her, Drake and Adonis, with blonde hair photoshopped on all three of them.
Alongside the picture, Sophie, 30, wrote in French: Living happily, living in private... but a little love in this brutal world is good.”
