Drake has been extremely private with any news of his son, Adonis, until relatively recently.

In fact, it was only earlier this year that the rapper shared the first pictures of Adonis on Instagram, alongside a poignant caption.

Drake told his fans to bring out their inner strength in times where their "minds start to move into overthinking or fear".

He then went on to proclaim his love for his "beautiful family and friends", with whom he cannot wait to "reunite" - presumably in reference to recent social distancing and lockdown measures.

"What is most important for you right now is to connect to your own inner light. This will create the biggest opening of all. Trust that you have all of the power within to make this happen, and in order to do that connect to the people and things that bring you a lot of joy." A portion of the caption reads.

And now, the 33-year-old has taken to Instagram once more, to share an adorable photograph of Adonis on his first day of school.

"First Day Of School...The World Is Yours kid" Drake captioned the image.

Back in June, the rapper took to Instagram to share a Father's Day message, alongside another picture of his son. "Happy Fathers Day to all the real g’z handling business" he wrote.

After Drake shared the first pictures of his son, his ex - and Adonis' mother - Sophie Brussaux responded to people saying that the child didn't look like his father.

She wrote: "Thanking God everyday for blessing me with such a beautiful family and amazing friends. I wish that much on everyone, keep safe and positive, sending a lot of positive vibes to the world. PS: all this time you thought @champagnepapi was dark-haired…but Adonis's parents are really blonde"
