Drake’s Son Adonis’ Awe-Inspiring Cameo in a Fresh Diss at Kanye West Sends Tom Brady’s Niece Maya Into “Another Universe”

None dishes a diss out like Drake.“8 AM In Charlotte,” Drake’s latest precursory song to his album, “For All the Dogs,” which dropped exclusively on Instagram in the wee hours of Thursday morning (October 5), appears to contain pointed references aimed at his former friend turned adversary, Kanye West. 

The video features Drake’s five-year-old son Adonis Graham and throws into sharper relief the relationship shared between the two. This is the first time that the duo has been featured together from such close quarters, and the response has been overwhelming. Even retired NFL legend Tom Brady’s niece, Maya Brady took to Instagram Stories to share her reaction to the brilliant piece! 

Drake takes a subtle-yet-stingy jab at Kanye West

“Diss me so long ago we making your memories fly” sang Drake in “8 AM In Charlotte.” Though there has been no outright reference to his friend-turn-enemy and fellow singer-songwriter, Kanye West, fans have picked up the crumbs. Especially in the third and final verse:

“You n****s obsessed with me and it’s not on no hetero vibe/ Handle beef so quiet you think that I’m letting it slide/ Next thing you know we tip-toeing past enemy lines/ Diss me so long ago we making your memories fly/ Conspiracy theories start floating around like the Kennedy guy/ I’ll probably hold a grudge against you guys ’til I’m 75,”

“You forced a lot of fake love when real ones stood in your face”  he is also heard rapping allegedly in reference to his old beef. The feud between Drake and Kanye West escalated in 2021 as they prepared to release their albums, “Certified Lover Boy” and “Donda.” The two rap icons engaged in a war of words, exchanging lyrical jabs and taking shots at each other on social media. 

They momentarily appeared to make peace when they came together for the “Free Larry Hoover” benefit concert in Los Angeles. However, less than a year later, their feud appeared to be on the brink of reigniting. Drake’s song “Circo Loco” hinted that their reconciliation may have been influenced by a favor to Rap-A-Lot Records’ J. Prince. 

The Subtle jabs might have caught substantial attention, but the majority of the spotlight was stolen by an unassuming blue-eyed boy. 

Exclusive Sneak peek into the Drake-Adonis relationship 

“Do you want to talk about how much money you got for your beautiful drawing?” Drake is heard asking his son Adonis in the “8 AM In Charlotte” video, who responds with a dismissive, “Oh, please,” drawing laughter from the onlookers. The video features Drake’s five-year-old son for the first time which captures him doodling and inspecting a painting of his. A conversation between the two unfolds over the little boy explaining his painting before transitioning into the titular song. 

Adonis had fans floored with his innocence and bright blue eyes, speaking softly but eloquently about the elements constituting his painting. Even Maya Brady, college softball player for the UCLA Bruins and niece to Tom Brady, applauded the un-worldly screen presence of little Adions saying, “This just sent me to another universe.”

Nevertheless, Drake remains a captivating artist with his music and creative endeavors, leaving fans eagerly anticipating more.
