Drake, 34, took to Instagram on Friday to share an intimate photo featuring the rapper snuggled up with his son, Adonis.

He kept the caption simple, an emoji of crossed fingers, under the image in which Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham, looked to be asleep while his son tilted his head to relax on his father's, holding what appears to be a snack.

The father-son duo received lots of love on the social media platform from fans and celebrities alike including one from Chance the Rapper, who commented with a pair of muscle emojis.

"Now this is beautiful," Justin Bieber added.

Justin Laboy commented on fatherhood. "True Kings Raise New Kings. God Bless," he wrote.

Melanie Fiona commented, too. "SONday," the "4 AM" singer wrote.

Drake is notoriously private about the 3-year-old he shares with Sophie Brussaux. Earlier this year, he shared the first photos of his son in a heartfelt post about wanting to reunite with his family and friends amid coronavirus social distancing.

The rapper rarely mentions his son to the public but shared a painting his son made on Instagram over the holidays in 2018. "Adonis > Picasso don’t @ me," he captioned the framed handprints in primary colors.

In 2018, Rapper Pusha T released a diss track titled "The Story of Adidon" in which he claimed that Drake was hiding a secret child that he had with Brussaux.

Drake confirmed he fathered a son named Adonis with the release of his album "Scorpion" in June 2018. On one track, "Emotionless," Drake raps: "I wasn't hidin' my kid from the world, I was hidin' the world from my kid."

In the final track of the album, "March 14," he made nods to his and Brussaux's relationship: "She not my lover like Billie Jean but the kid is mine / Sandi used to tell me all it takes is one time / And all it took was one time... Now it's rough times / I'm out here on front lines / Just trying to make sure that I see him sometimes."
