JAKARTA - Fans will not forget when Drake released the album Scorpion on June 29, 2018. The album has become one of the most anticipated albums.

Apart from his latest work, rumors were circulating at the time that Drake was the father of a child. Drake himself never raised his voice about these rumors but through this album, everything was answered.

The March 14 track, which is the last track in the Scorpion album, contains the answers fans have been waiting for.

In 2017, TMZ reported that Drake was the father of the baby of adult film star Sophie Brussaux. It is known that Brussaux had a relationship with Drake in a short time.

Brussaux was three months pregnant in January 2017 and she told Drake the news that day. However, Drake instead asked Brussaux to have an abortion.

She also suspects Brussaux is trying to make a profit in materials by saying she is pregnant with that 34-year-old rapper's child. Drake's management said this woman had a confusing background.

“She is a confusing figure. She admitted to having several romantic relationships. Claims like these are always proven wrong. If this fact is true, he (Drake) will do the right thing for the child."

The lyrics of the March 14 song hint at the moment when he received the news he was a father. "I gotta make it, I better make it/I promise if I'm not dead then I'm dedicated/This the first positive DNA we ever celebrated/I can't forget the looks on they faces"

But fans have also speculated that March 14 is the date Drake told singer Kanye West and then West leaked it to Pusha T.

The final lyrics of March 14 also expressed Drake's hopes of raising his child in the future. He will explain everything when his child becomes an adult.

Pusha T's Sarcasm

Amid rumors, rapper Pusha T released a song called The Story of Adidon on May 29 in which he voiced Drake's case claiming Drake was hiding a child. In fact, the conflict between the two has been going on for a long time.

Through the song, Pusha T also mentioned Sophie's name and she called the child's name, Adonis. Pusha T asked Drake to forget the fact that Brussaux was a porn star.

The album Scorpion released one month after the song The Story of Adidon looks like Drake's response to Pusha T's song. However, a source said the March 14 song included in Scorpion was made much longer than The Story of Adidon.

“I had never heard the contents of the song until the album was released. It's something that's closed and should be kept," Drake's producer, T-Minus, told Rolling Stone.

The producer had his doubt when Pusha T's song was released a few weeks before the Scorpion album. They're afraid listeners will assume Drake is trying to get back at Pusha T's words, but in the end, they keep releasing on schedule.

Now

On March 31, 2020, Drake revealed the face of Adonis for the first time, confirming he was the father of the child.

He gave a long caption in his post in which he said, “What is most important for you right now is to connect to your own inner light. This will open everything up. "

Drake also uploaded a photo of him with Sophie Brussaux and they decided to take care of Adonis together.

Not only that but Drake also often shares important moments with his children, such as when Adonis celebrates his birthday or when Adonis goes to school for the first time.
