If you find Drake amazing, you will find his son, Adonis Graham, even more amazing. Drake’s son has been in the news for a lot of reasons. Beyond being born by the Grammy Award-winning rapper and name-dropped by rival rapper Kendrick Lamar in his diss track, “Meet the Grahams,” Adonis has some fascinating qualities. For example, the toddler is already bilingual.
Adonis Graham turned seven on Friday, October 11, 2024. It was yet another opportunity for his rapper father to show the world how proud he is of his son. Drake not only organized a birthday party but also took pictures with his son, which he shared on the social media platform Instagram.
The Canadian-born rapper posted photos from the Spongebob-themed party with a caption that read, “Big Don.” Already, Drake has made loads of efforts to show the world that, contrary to rumors, he was never ashamed of his offspring.
Initially, he was skeptical about Adonis’ mother’s claim that she was going to have his baby. In a track off his “Scorpion” album, Drake explained himself by stating, “I wasn’t hidin’ my kid from the world / I was hidin’ the world from my kid.”
Drake is also showing off the lad to the world. He has taken him to a number of public events, including award shows. Speaking with fellow rapper Lil Wayne on the radio show “Young Money Radio with Lil Wayne” on Apple Music, Drake stated, “I want to be able to go places with my son and share memories with my son.”

Here Are Some Fun Facts About Drake’s Son
Let’s see some of the amazing qualities Drake’s son, Adonis Graham, possesses.
He Can Speak French
Interestingly, Drake’s son was already bilingual by the time he was 4. He owes this feat to his mom, who is French, from whom he learned the language. So, Adonis can now speak both French and English.

Adonis is likely to fall in love with his father’s favorite team, the Toronto Raptors. They’ve attended many of the team’s games.
Besides just watching the sports, Adonis could become a basketball star in the future. Drake has posted a number of Instagram videos showing his son doing some tricks with the ball.
Drake’s Son Does Rap and Martial Arts
Adonis Graham could also follow in his father’s hip-hop footsteps. The lad has shown some signs in that direction. In October 2023, Drake released his son’s first rap track, “My Man.” Adonis also performed the song at his 6th birthday party.
