Adonis has been throughout For All The Canines – actually. His drawing was used because the album’s paintings, and he appeared within the music video for “8 AM in Charlotte.” In the beginning of the video, Adonis – who Drake welcomed with artist Sophie Brussaux in 2017 — defined the complete piece to his dad.
“So, it’s the identical story,” Adonis advised Drake. “So, the goat was working away from the opposite monsters and the opposite animals, and a flower [was] blocking the best way. The flower was on fireplace. The racing automobile was possibly serving to the goat, and there have been some stairs – like a jail’s stairs, and there was one one who was, like, on prime, and he acquired killed by the monitor.”

“Oh, please,” the little boy quipped.
