Drake has confirmed rumours he is a father in newest album, Scorpion

RAPPER Drake has seemingly confirmed a rumour that he’s a father on his new album.

In two songs on his fifth album, Scorpion, released today, the 31-year-old from Canada addresses rumours that he fathered a son with a former French adult-film star.

In “Emotionless”, Drake raps: “I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid.”

And then in “March 14,” he uses a Michael Jackson reference to say: “She not my lover like Billie Jean, but the kid is mine.”

The 25-track album features the No. 1 singles “God’s Plan” and “Nice For What”. The album follows “More Life” from 2017.

Jay Z, Future, Static Major and Ty Dolla $ign are among the artists who appear on the new album. He also samples Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey.
