Drake embraced his son Adonis at an NBA game in Toronto on Thursday night, making for an adorable moment as the boy’s mother sat behind them in the stands.

The multiplatinum megastar, 36 – who recently flaunted a jaw-dropping diamond necklace representing ‘engagement rings’ – sat with his 5-year-old son and watched the Toronto Raptors take on the LA Clippers.

Adonis’ mother Sophie Brussaux, 33, was also at the game, but she did not sit with Drake and their son courtside.

Dressed to the nines in a flashy jacket, the Passionfruit rapper commanded attention in Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, sitting right beside the NBA action while his young son beamed next to him.

Adonis stood out in his fluffy green sweater, exhibiting a fashion sense on par with his stylish dad.

Father and son looked like they were having a blast as they cheered on the Raptors and palled around with the players.

The Toronto native – who owns a $100 million estate in the city – is a diehard fan of the team and has undoubtedly passed on his fandom to Adonis.

But Drake and his son aren’t the only basketball fans in the family, as Adonis’s mom Sophie Brussaux was also cheering on the Raptors.

‘We like basketball,’ wrote Sophie’s close friend Isabella Baboury, captioning a story of her sitting next to Drake’s baby mama in the second row.

Even though Brussaux appeared to be separated from Drake and Adonis, she seems to have developed a very friendly relationship with the superstar.

Drake and the French artist/model were first spotted together in January 2017.

Just two months later, rumors began to swirl that Sophie was pregnant with the hitmaker’s child.

But the God’s Plan rapper had a rocky start to parenthood, with his camp resisting the possibility that he could be the father.

‘This woman has a very questionable background,’ the team said in a statement to TMZ during Brussaux’s pregnancy. ‘She has admitted to having multiple relationships.’

The statement continued: ‘She’s one of many women claiming he got them pregnant. If it is in fact Drake’s child, which he does not believe, he would do the right thing by the child.’

Drake later admitted that he was the father and rapped about his son in songs released the following year.

The Wants and Needs rapper posted some adorable pictures of Adonis to his Instagram Story on Thursday night, but he initially waited a couple of years before sharing any pictures of his son with the world, citing privacy concerns.

The Grammy Winner has come a long way since then, bringing his son into the public eye more and more.

Amicable: Drake and Brussaux appear to have developed a very amicable relationship since welcoming Adonis into the world.  The God's Plan rapper had a rocky start to parenthood, with his camp initially resisting the possibility that he could be the father
