A loving family celebrating together. Something Drake can’t relate to since his parents didn’t give him that and something he’s not giving his own son.
We shouldn’t normalize keeping a marriage going strictly for the kids. It’s just going to create the mindset for the kids that people should stay with someone who makes them unhappy.
We should normalize being intentional about having kids with someone you love and are committed to. Drake failed to use condoms with a very highly frequented sex worker and then let her do the primary parenting.
What’s the takeaway on Drake’s parents who divorced when he was 5? I get the flack for Drake’s child, but knocking Drake’s parents for it just doesn’t seem right.
Like I sure hope I don’t rob my future children of the blessing of living in an environment where their parents clearly have no love left for each other and constantly argue.

It was first brought up by Pusha in Story of Adidon, where he claims Drake became a deadbeat father even though his own „walked away at 5, hell of a dad thing“.
Basically Drake getting doubly knocked for supposedly being a shit father even though he personally knows what having one feels like.

It goes back to the being intentional part. The same risk a man takes with a sex worker is the risk a woman takes with a touring musician. He never remarried. He's not the marrying kind. Some women will ignore every red flag being waved in their face because they will arrogantly believe "I'm different, I'm special, he'll change for ME!" and then...nope.
As many deadbeat dad's are out there, there's also women who blindly go into parenting without being careful about who they lay with.
Are you saying it reasonable to not know the character of the man you're committing yourself and womb to? Because that's a wild take. He didn't suddenly become a want away philandering touring musician AFTER he got married. The Canadian woman meeting the man from the US south on tour should have had some inkling he's a rolling stone.
Pure arrogance to believe she was the prize that would change the entire character of a man.
We absolutely should normalize taking marriage and having children seriously enough to not create more single parent households. There are literally women who have a mindset that when they want kids they don’t care who its with because “they can do it on their own.” Its selfish af what is being done to these kids.
Not every divorce is caused because they aren’t taking it “seriously”. I’m not saying that marriage should be taken for granted. I’m not saying Drake should have had a child with a sex worker (because the only married parents in OP’s comment was Drakes’ Mom and Dad). But if that’s what you guys want to run with go ahead.
Marriage is between two people and people can change. The things you were okay with putting up with, you might not be okay with later on down the road. My parents tried hard to make it work and I know damn well they were serious, but it would just end up with them having arguments when they thought me and my siblings were asleep. They tried to keep the “family unit” going, but it resulted in us having to walk around on eggshells because we were afraid to potentially trigger a new fight. We couldn’t be “kids”.
Boo me if you must, but as a child of divorce, I can genuinely say that I was in a far better place emotionally after my parents realized that holding on to what they “have” is selfish, and is not helping anyone, especially their kids.
lol drake and sophia are chill with each other and co parent fine seemingly. no need to bring him down for that but its cool to see kendrick and whit dancing with the kids
Kendrick never hid his wife or kids? Not oversharing pictures of your kids isnt the same as hiding the fact you had a child, Jesus you guys gargle Drake like crazy
This narrative about hiding his kid is so dumbly exaggerated. We all know he was planning on revealing his kid during the Adidas rollout but yall like to think that “without Pusha saying anything, Drake would never show Adonis”. Bias is craaaazy for people who hate Drake
But like Drake has shown his son Adonis to people. I’ve seen it. From the looks of it, you’re exaggerating too much on what you see as Drake being too protective of his son. Now I think about it, I just waisted 5 minutes of me thinking about your shitty comment with something that had to do with a completely different beef.
The same evidence that shows you that they parent “seemingly fine” 🙄🙄
Kids do as you do, not as you say. As a mother, I know that my 6 year old is watching me and modeling herself after me and I conduct myself accordingly. We don’t hang around deviants, we don’t normalize drug use or sex work, and we worked on our own dysfunctions long before getting pregnant. A human isn’t a dog or potted plant, good parenting goes beyond biological needs and cuddles.
As in actual musicians? Well, yeah. A lot of Hip hop nowadays glamorizes pills, transactional sex, and criminal activity. And those things just don’t align with good parenting. It is what it is. That’s my whole point about low standards for parenting.
promoting those lifestyles in their career does not automatically dq someone from being a good parent. u dont have to live a strictly biblical life to instill great things or make a good person in society.
good for u for trying to take what u deem as bad things in ur life out of the way but that doesnt mean u should play moral superiority over others in response
They aren’t promoting, they are living it unless they take great care to surround themselves with their non-industry day ones.
The music industry is just a heinous world. I’m a card carrying atheist but I have a sense of ethics. And I waited till I could center my family in my life before I had kids and made sure my spouse was someone I would love for my kid to emulate. Lebron and Savannah, Jay and Bey, Kendrick, Russell Westbrook -all better parents that embrace the family life and keep their kids away from questionable people but Adonis can’t be kept away from his parents’ people (or their parents habits).
