Drake Revisits Sentimental City Where 7-Year-Old Son Adonis Was Conceived
'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,' Drizzy told the crowd. 'So this is a big show for me, you know? I hold Amsterdam very dear to my heart.'
He added, 'There would be no Adonis if there wasn't an Amsterdam, so shoutout to y'all.'
Drake has let fans into his fatherhood journey over the years, sharing many heartwarming moments.
Last November, he shared a handwritten letter from Adonis via Instagram Stories that read, 'Thank you for giving me such a good life and a good family. I love you dad,' signed, 'Adonis to Dad.'
When Adonis turned seven last October, Drake went all out with a SpongeBob SquarePants-themed birthday bash. The proud dad posted two photos from the celebration, featuring him and Adonis posing in front of a Bikini Bottom backdrop, captioned 'Big Don.'
The Grammy-winner also gave us a glimpse of his Father's Day last year, with sweet pics with Adonis and his own father, Dennis Graham.
In one photo, the trio rocked cowboy hats, and in another, showed off their smiles. 'Three generations Happy Fathers Day to the ones guiding their daughters and sons,' Drake wrote at the time.
Take a look at Drake reminiscing in Amsterdam above.

Drake And Lil Wayne's Early Collaboration Returns At A New High Point
Lil Wayne helped Drake begin his music career nearly two decades ago, and the two have been great friends and frequent collaborators ever since. The pair rank among the most successful in hip-hop history, and they regularly appear on the Billboard charts next to one another. This frame, Drake and Wayne jointly return to one list with a decade-plus-old tune — one which manages to somehow become an even bigger win than ever before. 'She Will' Returns at a New Peak 'She Will,' fronted by Wayne and featuring Drake, reappears on the Rap Streaming Songs chart this week. The collaboration comes back at No. 14 – 25 weeks into its time on the tally — and climbs to a new peak position on Billboard's ranking of the most-streamed rap tracks throughout the U.S. Tha Carter IV 'She Will' was pushed as a single from Wayne's album Tha Carter IV in August 2011. The tune arrived shortly before the full-length, the fourth in his famed Tha Carter series. Recently, 'She Will' has gone viral on TikTok, which has helped it reappear on the Rap Streaming Songs chart. 'She Will' Reached No. 3 on the Hot 100 During its initial run on Billboard's tallies, 'She Will' became a huge hit for both Wayne and Drake. The tune peaked at No. 3 on the Hot 100, rose to No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs list, and missed out on becoming a champion on the Hot Rap Songs roster by just one spot. Drake Dominates the Rap Streaming Songs Chart The Rap Streaming Songs chart only features 15 spaces, and this week Drake claims one-third of all available real estate. In addition to 'She Will' reappearing in second-to-last place, the Canadian hip-hop powerhouse earns another comeback, as 'Wait For U' – fronted by Future and also featuring Tems – breaks back in at No. 12. At the same time, his own cuts 'Which One' with Central Cee, 'Nokia' and 'What Did I Miss?' appear at Nos. 4, 5 and 7, respectively.

Teyana Taylor Talks Aaron Pierre And Health Issues As Instyle's Latest Cover Star
Source: Kristina Bumphrey / Getty Teyana Taylor is booked and busy, but she took a little of her limited downtime to talk to InStyle and appear as one of their Imagemakers covers. Taylor revealed recently that she's has to have vocal cord surgery, which happened just about the time she was scheduled to drop her album Escape Room on Aug. 22. 'I've been quietly dealing with some vocal challenges for a while now,' Taylor posted on her Instagram Stories. 'And after a lot of back and forth with my doctors, I've been told I need vocal surgery immediately. They found a noncancerous growth on one of my cords that's been messing with my voice and causing real discomfort. Thankfully, we caught it & it's treatable—but it does mean I need to pause and give myself time to fully heal.' Taylor, 34, is on a generational run with a slate of five movie and TV projects on the way with co-stars like Leonard DiCaprio and collaborators like Ryan Murphy, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Kim Kardashian. The first, One Battle After Another with DiCaprio and Sean Penn, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, comes out Sept. 26. All's Fair, a Ryan Murphy legal drama series with Kardashian, Niecy Nash and Sarah Paulson, is headed to Hulu this fall. Escape Room is her first musical project in five years, and the 'visual album's' single, 'Bed of Roses,' included some provocative shots with her rumored boyfriend, British actor Aaron Pierre whose breakthrough role in Netflix's Ruby Ridge propelled him to stardom. We care about your data. See our privacy policy. She told InStyle that she didn't want to talk much about it, but did say, 'I just go with the flow, and I'm trying things a little differently' this time. 'Just protecting my peace and privacy.' She did say that none of the crumbs dropped about their relationship, including photos from a post-Oscar party or footage from his birthday party in June, were an attempt at a 'hard launch' of their relationship. She is a little more forthcoming with Nessa Diab, the Hot 97 personality who is also (as she recently confirmed) Colin Kaepernick's wife. When asked directly if she was dating Pierre, Taylor said again that she wanted to try 'something different.' 'People are praying on your downfall,' she said. 'People are praying on the health that you are building. What me and Aaron have is very healthy. It's very gentle, and it's very soft, and it's very kind, and it's very sweet, and it's very warm, and it's one of the best feelings that I've ever had. And most importantly, it's so safe. And I don't want us to be robbed of that. He's so special to me.' Escape Room is expected to come out on schedule. One of the unique features of the release is spoken word interludes from actors including Taraji P. Henson, Paulson, Jodie Turner-Smith and Kerry Washington. Taylor says that while surgery came just as she was heavily promoting the album's release, sometimes life hands you the break you need. 'It's always easier to go to work when it's with people that you love, cherish, and appreciate, and when it's with people that don't play about you,' she told InStyle. 'I've had a lot of ups and downs within this music industry, like my love-hate relationship with music, different things like that. Escape Room is for people to escape anything .' She added, 'There are a million things that could and will break your heart. Whether it's a relationship, whether it's a business 'ship, whether it's leaving a company, anything that does not serve you, does not see you, appreciate you, value you, you must escape—sometimes even including ourselves. Sometimes we go through these stages where we're just not us. Sometimes you gotta escape back to yourself. Escape back to the best version of you.'
