Keshia Chanté is setting the record straight. During a CP24 interview on Wednesday, the Canadian singer addressed rumors that Drake is the father of her baby, telling viewers simply,“He is not the dad.”The speculation kicked off after her maternity shoot at Toronto’s Casa Loma started circulating online, with fans connecting her to the Toronto rapper thanks to their shared history. Drake’s rep had already denied the claim to TMZ on Tuesday.
Chanté did offer a little insight into her son’s father, describing him as someone in the music industry who is also a public figure.“My son’s father, I love him dearly,”she said, though she chose not to name him. She added that she’s excited to watch her son grow into a“little musical, magical person.”
For context: Chanté and Drake dated in the early 2000s and stayed friends, which is likely why the rumor gained so much traction. Drake’s only known child remains Adonis Graham, whose mother is Sophie Brussaux. So the mystery is solved, even if the internet didn’t love the answer.
