Drake?s son made his rapping debut on Sunday. The Canadian rapper dropped a new song on his channel titled ADONIS ?MY MAN FREESTYLE?, announcing his 6-year-old son?s arrival in the rap industry. Drake?s son Adonis was the star of that music video and could be seen hooping with other kids of his age.

Adonis? debut song also featured his father, Drake, and a 19-year-old Toronto Raptors rookie who got trolled by the 5-time Grammy Award-winning artist 4 months ago.

The Toronto Raptors drafted 6?8 guard Gradey Dick as the 13th pick in this year?s NBA draft. Gradey caught the NBA world?s attention as soon as his name was announced in the draft. He went on stage in a shiny red blazer that looked like it was made out of diamonds. Drake, being the biggest Raptors fan, welcomed the 19-year-old rookie to Toronto through a text, ?Welcome Home?. But the Canadian rapper trolled Gradey for his name by posting a picture of the rookie holding his new Raptors jersey. Drake captioned the picture, ?How good girls flex their body count?.

Despite the trolling, Gradey and Drake seem to have developed a good friendship as the 19-year-old rookie featured in Drake?s son?s rapping debut.

Apart from having a memeable name, Gradey Dick is a solid pickup for the Toronto Raptors. At 6?8, Gradey is an elite shooter and can handle the ball with ease. He averaged 14.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in his one season with Kansas. Gradey shot lights out from the three-point line with an elite shooting percentage of 40.3. The 19-year-old rookie has the potential to be a superstar in the league and leave a huge impact on the Toronto Raptors.
