Drake's son Adonis, 6, follows in his father's footsteps by making rapping debut with track My Man Freestyle
Drake's son Adonis, 6, is following in his lyrical footsteps.
Just a week after the God's Plan rapper's only child made his music video debut in 8am in Charlotte, Adonis took the metaphorical mic in the music video for My Man Freestyle.
The proud dad posted the music video for My Man Freestyle, which has Adonis credited as the main writer, on his Instagram page for his 143 million followers.
'Happy birthday my son…MY MAN FREESTYLE OUT NOW,' the Degrassi star captioned the video.
In the video, Drake's mini-me raps like his famous dad as he plays a basketball game, with the Jimmy Cooks rapper making a short appearance halfway through the reel.

Model Winnie Harlow shared her support for Adonis' first solo song, commenting under the video 'My my my my mann...whole chorus goes in, singing that all week.'
Along countless other birthday wishes for the aspiring rapper was a comment from Canadian pop star Avril Lavigne, who wrote 'Yesss' with several fire and clapping emojis.
Several fans joked that they hoped Adonis got a new iPad, after the mini rapper waxed poetic in his verses that he '“Was waiting for this moment to arrive / I was driving in the car and I smash my car / I was playing in on my iPad and I broke my iPad,' among other lyrics overseen by music producer Esso.
It wasn't the first time Drake encouraged his son's artistic endeavors.
In a cute moment from the 8am in Charlotte, the Canadian rapping superstar asks his son about a piece of art that he drew.
Adonis explains a backstory for his artwork, with Drake asking if he's meant to be the goat in his son's drawing.
'And Daddy's name is next to the goat. Does that mean that Daddy's the GOAT?' the Hotline Bling singer asks Adonis in the cute intro for the music video.
After the My Man Freestyle rapper agrees that he meant it to mean that his dad was the 'Greatest of all time,' Drake adds ''Daddy Goat. That makes perfect sense to me.'

The 100 Thieves co-founder also shared some adorable snaps of his son on October 11 on his Instagram stories.
'BIG 6 errrrrer.' the father of one lovingly wrote.
The business mogul appears to be on far better terms with Sophie now as a co-parent following years of animosity, with Drake even dissing his baby mama as a 'fluke' in the track When to Say When back in 2020.

During an interview on LeBron James' HBO series The Shop back in 2018, Drake finally acknowledged he was Adonis' father, adding 'I am a single father learning to communicate with a woman who, we’ve had our moments.'
He added that he wanted to get along with Sophie for his son's sake, saying 'I don’t have any desire for him to not love his mother. I don’t ever want the world to be angry at his mother.'
Demonstrating that he was a man of his word, the DreamCrew production company founder posted a sweet tribute to the mother of his child in 2021 for Mother's Day.
'Happy Mother's Day big mama @sophieknowsbetter,' the Ovo Sound co-founder captioned under a photo of Sophie snuggling up to Adonis.
