After months of speculation that reached a fever pitch in the past few weeks, Drake seems to have finally confirmed publicly that he fathered a son with former adult film actress Sophie Brussaux in lyrics from his new album "Scorpion."
In one specific lyric, Drake claims that he wasn't trying to hide his son from the world, but "hiding the world from my kid."

Kylie Jenner was able to keep her pregnancy a relative secret for nine months.
Jenner was able to keep out of the spotlight for nine months, and made it impossible for fans to know the truth.
TMZ first speculated about Jenner's pregnancy in September 2017. And for five months, the reality star kept all of social media and her fans on their toes, waiting to see if she would make an appearance with a baby bump.
The 20-year-old officially announced the birth of her daughter with Travis Scott in February 2018. Jenner apologized to fans for "keeping them in the dark," but said she "needed to prepare for this role of a lifetime in the most positive, stress free, and healthy way."
According to Nia Guzman, Chris Brown "always knew about [their daughter]," but the world didn't find out until Royalty was 9 months old.
Brown's daughter Royalty was born in May 2014, though the world didn't learn about her until she was nine months old in March 2015, when TMZ reported that Brown had fathered a child.
Guzman told Latina Magazine "the world didn't find out about her until a year ago. [Chris] always knew about her, he just wasn't ready to deal with the situation."
Brown told a different story to Vibe, claiming he had no idea Royalty was his daughter until a paternity test was administered, though he had had suspicions about Royalty, which Guzman refuted. "I asked, and [Nia] was like 'Nah, it's not you.' So I was like cool, I didn't think it was an issue," he told Vibe magazine.
Linda Evangelista kept quiet about the identity of her son's father, until she publicly named him in court.
Evangelista gave birth to her son in October 2006, and refused to reveal who the father was. But five years later, People reported that Evangelista named François-Henri Pinault in court papers she filed to request child support from the tycoon. Pinault was already dating his future-wife Salma Hayek at the time of the birth.
In October 2007, Page Six approached Pinault for a comment regarding the paternity of the baby — he denied any involvement. But testimony in the 2011 case revealed that Pinault knew about the pregnancy, and had encouraged Evangelista to terminate it.
