After months of speculation and getting absolutely bodied in a Pusha T diss track, the rap superstar Drake appears to have finally admitted to having a child ex-adult film actress Sophie Brussaux.
Drake laid down the following verse about having a child out of wedlock on his new album Scorpion, which dropped last night:
“Yesterday morning was crazy / I had to come to terms with the fact that it’s not a maybe / That shit is in stone, sealed and signed / She not my lover like Billie Jean but the kid is mine / [My mom] used to tell me all it takes is one time, and all it took was one time / Shit, we only met two times, two times / And both times were nothing like new times.”
Later in the track, Drake continued talking about the child: “Now it’s rough times / I’m out here on front lines just trying to make sure that I see him sometimes / It’s breaking my spirit / Single father, I hate when I hear it.”
The artist — who is known for his emotional rap
“I used to challenge my parents on every album / Now I’m embarrassed to tell them I ended up as a co-parent / Always promised the family unit,” Drake raps on “March 14”. “I wanted it to be different because I’ve been through it / But this is the harsh truth now.”
While rumors about Drake having a child with an ex-porn star had been circulating in the media for months, the story didn’t receive viral attention until the rapper Pusha T released a diss track last month aimed at Drake titled, “The Story of Adidon.”
“A baby’s involved, it’s deeper than rap / We talkin’ character, let me keep with the facts,” rapped Pusha T. “You are hiding a child, let that boy come home / Deadbeat muthafucka playin’ border patrol.”
Now that Scorpion is out everyone, including Drake stans, can admit that Pusha T definitively won the beef between the two rappers.
