The former adult film actor and the rapper known for “God’s Plan” had a brief romantic relationship in January 2017, following his split from Jennifer Lopez. But the public learned of their relationship only when Brussaux hired two New York City lawyers to start the paternity proceedings after claiming in May that she was three and a half months pregnant with Drake’s child.

Adonis, Brussaux’s son, was born in October 2017, and in March of the following year, a paternity test verified that the child belonged to Drake. However, the world didn’t know about Adonis until May 2018, when rapper Pusha T released his diss track, “The Story of Adidon”.

In April 2024, several rappers became embroiled in the drama between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, with artists like Future and A$AP Rocky voicing their issues on Metro Boomin and Future’s album We Still Don’t Trust You.

In one song, “Show of Hands,” Rocky, whose birth name is Rakim Mayers, alleges that he had 𝑠e𝑥 with Brussaux before Drake did. “N—– in they feelings over women, what, you hurt or something/ I smash before you birthed, son, Flacko hit it first, son,” he said, referring to himself.

Drake seemingly responded on his diss track, “Family Matters,” where he addressed numerous disses that came his way.

“Rakim talkin’ s— again/Gassed ’cause you hit my BM first, n—-, do the math, who I was hittin’ then?” he rapped, with fans interpreting this to insinuate that Drake was referring to his brief ties to Rihanna, Rocky’s current partner, that occurred at the same time as Rocky’s alleged hook up with Brussaux.
