Drake has broken his silence about becoming a dad for the second time, this time with ex-girlfriend Keshia Chanté.
The 39-year-old American rap star's representatives have denied the speculation about embracing fatherhood for the second time, in a fiery response.
On Tuesday, October 6th, Drake's team labelled the reports as "false and fabricated" and shut down rumours that emerged shortly after Keshia's pregnancy announcement.
However, the Habibti crooner himself has not reacted to the rumours so far.
For the unfamiliar, Drake and Keshia have not seen together in a while but they briefly dated in their youth from 2004 to 2006.
They first met as teenagers around 2001 or 2002 (when the rapper was 14 and Keshia was 13) and remained close friends after their teenage romance ended.
However, their previous relationship came to the spotlight now after Keshia publicly confirmed that she is seven months pregnant with a baby boy.
Keshia Chanté's heart warming post about her pregnancy
Taking to her Instagram account, the Been Gone crooner did not specifically reveal the name of her child’s father but described his personality, stating, "He's brilliant and super creative and just constantly doing things that I'm inspired by."
She continued, "Mommy & Daddy are so excited to welcome you into the world. Oh, and we’ve already got you booked & busy. Dada’s got your studio locked, and we expect your album to drop summer 2027."
"So, I would love to see my son have his mannerisms and his swag," Keshia added.
This announcement came after she sparked reunion rumours with Drake when she told Hello magazine prior to her pregnancy announcement that her son's father was the idea for them to become parents.
Drake's brief relationship history

He is also a father to his eight-year-old son, Adonis, with ex Sophie Brussaux, a one-time adult star-turned artist.
