A lot of people monitor Drake’s career, but even more of them like to read about his personal life. The man gained the reputation of a real Lovelace, he dated many famous beautiful ladies but has never been married officially to any of them. That’s why the news about his newborn son sounded unbelievable at first. But in summer 2018 the rapper confirmed in lyrics on one of his songs, that he had become a dad.
The boy was born in autumn, 2017. He is the result of a short affair between the famous rapper and a French adult model Sophie Brussaux. In fact, Drake and Sophie met just twice, as he said in his new track. The sweet couple was caught by paparazzi during their dinner in Amsterdam. Around that time Drake was romantically linked to a pop queen Jennifer Lopez.
As Sophie later announced through Instagram, she was pregnant with the rapper’s baby. The latter begged her to make an abortion through private messages. Then he denied the paternity, but that was proved with a DNA test.
The cute little boy was named Adonis Graham. He lives with his mother, but his father spends every free minute with him. The rapper’s friends tell he is really obsessed with his son. He even tattooed the baby’s face on his hand.
Who are Drake parents?
Dennis Graham (father)
Dennis used to be a famous musician in his young years, and he even played opposite legendary Jerry Lee Lewis in a band. Unfortunately, Dennis chose a wrong way and changed his career in music for drugs. One day he was arrested for drug possession and thrown into jail. After that, he promised his wife to stop using drugs, but couldn’t keep to his word. After that, she filed for divorce.
But drug problems didn’t prevent Dennis from being a great father. He stayed in touch with Aubrey, who named himself as Drake and encouraged his love for music. It was he, who advised him to join rapping with lyrical singing, thus helping Drake to create his unique style.
Dennis Graham finally coped with his addiction. Now he continues making music and releases new songs quite often, although they are not so popular, as his son’s.
Drake loves and respects his father and proved it with a special gift on Father’s Day – he gave his parent an incredibly expensive blue Bentley.

Is it hard to bring up a star? Probably, it’s not an easy thing for most the parents, but Sandi Graham coped with this task!
In fact, music is in Drake’s genes, and not just due to his father. In fact, his mother Sandi was a big music fan, too. Her mother (Drake’s grandmother) was a baby sitter of a diva Aretha Franklin. The woman encouraged her son to make music. In addition, she monitored his academicals and sent him for ballet classes. Drake was a member of the school theater, too.
She divorced from her husband Dennis when their son was just 5 years old. She brought up Drake with the help of her brother – and successful businessman. She was a teacher, but because of some health issues (she had rheumatoid arthritis) the woman quit her job and focused her mind on her son’s upbringing. Drake’s mother was a Canadian Jew. His father was an African-American. Both of these cultures influenced him.
Journalists joke, that the most beloved woman is Drake’s life is his mother. He is very proud of her and very thankful to her. The star bought his mother a mansion in Toronto. He visits Sandi very often and devotes lines in his songs to her.
