    Drake loves Amsterdam because his son was conceived there

    The God's Plan hitmaker - who has seven-year-old Adonis with artist Sophie Brussaux - performed in the Dutch city on Wednesday (30.07.25) and told the audience the city will always hold a "very special place" in his heart for very personal reasons


    In a video shared to X by a fan, Drake could be heard saying: "I was saying backstage, I was saying that this is the place. A very special place in my heart. Because this is where my son was conceived.

    "So this is a big show for me, you know? I hold Amsterdam very dear to my heart.

    "There would be no Adonis if there wasn't an Amsterdam, so shoutout to y'all."

    In November, Drake shared a sweet note on Instagram which his son had given him, in which the youngster thanked his dad for "giving [him] such a good life".

    The brief letter, which was handwritten in blue and red ink read: "Thank you for giving me such a good life and a good family.

    "I love you dad.

    "Adonis to Dad."

    Adonis - who speaks French and English - splits his time living in France with his mom, as well as in Los Angeles and Toronto with his dad.

    Drake revealed in June 2018 that he had a son and he previously admitted it was "freeing" to open up about his little boy.

    He said: "I posted those pictures. It was great for me. It was great to just share that with the world and I just felt like ... It wasn't even anything I talked to anybody about or anything I planned. I just woke up one morning and I was like, you know what? This is just something that I want to do. I want to be able to go places with my son and share memories with my son. I don't want to feel like just because of a life choice I made to be a 'celebrity' that I got to make everybody live under this blanket. So, I just wanted to free myself of that."

    The 38-year-old rapper put on a 'SpongeBob SquarePants'-themed birthday party to mark Adonis turning seven earlier this year and shared the photos to Instagram.

    The father-and-son duo posed in front of a Bikini Bottom backdrop, with Adonis in a bright yellow t-shirt, and the Grammy Award-winner rocking an orange 'Fox Racing' long-sleeved shirt.

    The picture carousel also highlighted Adonis playing soccer with his friends, as well as jumping in a bouncy castle.
