The rapper, 36, wore a burgundy leather jacket emblazoned with Sotto Sotto (the name of his favourite Toronto restaurant) on the back, clear Cutler & Gross glasses and a pair of his highly coveted white Nike NOCTA Air Force 1 sneakers, while his son sat beside him in a black and white ensemble snacking on Skittles.

At one point, the team’s mascot did pushups on the court to entertain the Degrassi alumni’s mini-me son, with Drake later going viral after he was videoed snatching snacks away from Adonis to make sure he didn’t overdo it on sweets.

Prior to heading down to Scotiabank Arena, Drake shared a photo of his son, whose mother is French artist and former adult film star Sophie Brussaux, exiting their Bridle Path-area home in front of a towering blue Christmas tree to his Instagram Stories.

The In My Feelings hitmaker has largely kept his son out of the spotlight, but Drake brought Adonis to a game between the 76ers and Raptors last April. He also brought him onstage last year when he was named Billboard’s Artist of the Decade.

“I want to dedicate this to you,” he said in an emotional speech.

More recently, he held the boy’s birthday celebration at the Rec Room in Toronto.

Elsewhere Wednesday night, the Raptors shared photos of Drake meeting two past greats who were in attendance — Charles Oakley and Morris Peterson. The club’s official Twitter account also showed a clip of father and son arriving at the game, calling the little one his “Treacherous lil twin.”
