Father’s Day is a significant event in the world of Drake, especially considering his recent exchanges with Kendrick Lamar. Leading up to last year’s Father’s Day, Drake humorously reminded artists who draw inspiration from him to acknowledge him as their artistic father. “A lot of them boys you entertain wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for me so don’t forget to wish me a Happy Father’s Day,” Drake playfully commented at the time.
On Father’s Day in 2020, Drake chose to take a different approach by expressing gratitude to influential figures such as Jamie Foxx, Lil Wayne, and LeBron James for their impact on his life. This gesture came after he had introduced the world to his son, Adonis, with the first photos being shared earlier that year. Adonis was famously revealed in Pusha T’s “The Story of Addison” diss track in 2018.
Father’s Day serves as a moment of reflection for Drake, where he acknowledges his influence in the music world and shows appreciation for those who have played a significant role in his personal life. It’s a time for celebration and recognition of the relationships that have shaped him both artistically and personally.
