Rapper Drake threw a racecar party to celebrate his son Adonis’ 4th birthday. The Canadian musician took to Instagram Sunday to share heartwarming photos of the special day, including one of him smiling brightly with the young boy.

One of the photos shows Drake posing for the camera with Adonis, with both dressed in black. “TEACHA. MORE LIFE KID,” he captioned the post, adding two pink heart emojis.

In the photo, Drake rocks a long-sleeved black shirt and camo pants and stoops down to get close to his son as they pose in front of a race-car-themed backdrop.

The celebratory setup featured the colors grey, blue, red and black and included black and white checkered balloons around a poster that read “Adonis races into 4.” The little boy looked thrilled as he wore a full black outfit, matched with a pair of red, black and white sneakers with white laces.

Later that day, Drake shared another black-and-white photo of him and his son, seemingly taken inside a photo booth. Drake is seen lifting Adonis in the air as the young boy raises his fist in what seems to be an adorable superhero pose.

The snaps earned likes and comments from fans and celebrities alike, including DJ Khaled, Summer Walker, and Jada Kingdom. Comedian Druski also commented on the first post, writing, “I feel like this kid’s birthday is every other week. What the f**k?”

“Send me his crypto wallet so I can send him some dogecoin,” Fat Nick wrote.

In June 2018, Drake confirmed in his album “Scorpion” that he had a son. His revelation came a month after Pusha T dropped “The Story of Adidon,” a controversial diss track suggesting that the artist might have fathered a child. Drake shared photos of Adonis on his social media for the first time in March 2020.

In May 2021, Adonis accompanied his father to the Billboard Music Awards and photos of him holding Drake’s trophy as he accepted the award for Artist of the Decade made the rounds online.
