Drake’s once-secretive relationship with Sophie Brussaux may have been used against him by Pusha T during their war of words in 2018, but it appears the 6 God has finally embraced the jokes about him having a child with a former porn star.
The Toronto native was spotted letting off some steam at the Queens, New York strip club Starlets last week during his 10-day stint in the Big Apple on his It’s All a Blur Tour.

It appears the sexual energy in the room (and possibly the club’s drinks) went to Drake’s head as he cracked a joke about his baby mother’s own stripper past during a quickfire interview with Sidetalk, the popular Instagram channel that calls itself “New York’s one-minute street show.”
While stood in the hallway surrounded by framed photos of the club’s top dancers, he quipped: “Live at Starlets, you know what I’m sayin’? Sidetalk, though. You know what time it is. We in here, man. I’m wearing ‘Pac’s ring. They got my baby momma on the wall over there.”

Elsewhere in the video, which was posted on Sunday (July 30), Drake revealed the number one quality he’s looking for in a woman (“Humor. If she watches this and it’s not funny to her, it’s a dub”) and shared his pick for the city with “the biggest density of tingz.”
“Density of tingz? Damn!” he answered after letting out a whistle. “Denver.”

When asked to share some words of wisdom for those watching the interview, the Toronto native channeled his inner-New Yorker by replying: “Suck my dick, ju heard?”

Drake and Sophie Brussaux — who previously starred in adult films under the name Rosee Divine — welcomed their son, Adonis, on October 11, 2017. The pair were first spotted on a date in Amsterdam in January 2017 during Drizzy’s Boy Meets World Tour.
Months later, TMZ reported that Brussaux was pregnant and had hired a high-powered lawyer to demand a paternity test and begin child support proceedings.

Drake had allegedly texted her demanding her to get an abortion and accusing her of keeping the baby for financial gain. A rep for the rap star, however, said that “he would do the right thing by the child” if it turned out to be his.
Adonis’ birth largely flew under the radar until Pusha T publicized his existence on his scathing 2018 diss song “The Story of Adidon.”

“Sophie knows better as your baby mother/ Cleaned her up for IG, but the stench is on her/ A baby’s involved, it’s deeper than rap/ We talkin’ character, let me keep with the facts,” he taunted on the track.
“You are hiding a child, let that boy come home/ Deadbeat mothafucka playin’ border patrol, ooh/ Adonis is your son/ And he deserves more than an Adidas press run; that’s real/ Love that baby, respect that girl/ Forget she’s a porn star, let her be your world, yuugh!”
While Drake and Sophie Brussaux met just twice, as he claimed on “March 14,” the pair have maintained a cordial relationship in more recent years, at least from the outside looking in.
“Co-parent of the year, we figured out a rapport,” the OVO hitmaker rapped on his 2021 song “Champagne Poetry” following a handful of not-so-flattering lyrical references to his baby mother.

Last year, Brussaux — who is now an artist and painter — wished Drake a happy Father’s Day on Instagram, calling him an “amazing” dad.
“Happy Father’s Day @champagnepapi so grateful for the amazing father you are to our son,” she wrote next to a photo of her and Adonis posing in front of a huge painting of the father and son duo.
