It's the first time that the 'One Dance' rapper has shared photos publicly

Just over a year ago, Drake began making reference to his 'secret son' on his album 'Scorpion'.

The song 'Emotionless' was a response of-sorts to his fellow rapper Pusha T's diss track 'The Story of Adidon', which claimed that Drake had fathered a child.

It had lines like: “Look at the way we live/ I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid".

Although Drake has been very guarded about his son until now, he took to Instagram yesterday to share photos of the adorable tot. His name is Adonis and he's 2.5 years old.

The photos were accompanied by a lengthy caption which saw the Canadian rapper urge people to stay positive during these trying times.

Adonis's mother is Sophie Brussaux, who he previously claimed to have only met twice before she fell pregnant. She also shared photos of their son and joked about the blonde-haired, blue-eyed child looking so different from both parents. "all this time you thought @champagnepapi was dark-haired...but Adonis’s parents are really blonde," she wrote, posted a joke photoshopped picture of them all with blonde hair.
