Drake seemingly hasn’t been doing well since the beef between him and rapper Kendrick Lamar began heating up. Lamar’s diss song about him Not Like Us is one of the biggest hits of the year, rising to number one on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart and earning 100 million Spotify streams.
Amid his and Drake’s ongoing feud, Lamar preceded Not Like Us with Meet the Grahams, claiming that the Canadian rapper had a secret daughter in the latter record. Drake denied he had a hidden lovechild, revealing in his follow-up diss song The Heart Part 6 that he spread the fake information about him having a secret 11-year-old daughter. Mr. OVO did this because he knew the Compton rhymer would fall for it, and he wanted to make Lamar look foolish, as he explained in the song.
Many are skeptical that Drake doesn’t have another child or more children somewhere. Being that he didn’t publicly admit that he had his son Adonis until a month after Pusha T outed the fact in his Drake diss record The Story of Adidon, released in May of 2018. So, needless to say, some internet sleuths are doing some further digging.
TikTok influencer Jusnene revealed in a now-viral video on the social media platform that internet sleuths have supposedly found Drake’s alleged daughter, Eternity. Jusnene’s video included a screenshot of a birthday post from Eternity’s Instagram account @eternityjoy13, which captured her celebrating her 10th birthday in April of last year, along with side-by-side photos of her and Drake.
Eternity, who turned 11 this past April, closely resembled Drake in the side-by-side photos, which Jusnene pointed out in her TikTok video. Jusnene is one of many who are theorizing that Eternity was the daughter that Lamar was referencing in Meet the Grahams. While some do believe that Eternity could be Drake’s kid, many more believe that Drake actually actually has a secret son on the low too. Recently, photos of a woman named Shirdkevia Myrick with her son as a toddler have resurfaced online. Many of the photos of Myrick’s son, when he was younger, look almost identical to photos of Drake as a young child.
Even now, Myrick’s son’s face still seems very similar to Drake’s, as evident in her Instagram post on Wednesday, which showed several photos of her preteen son. Countless noticed that her son had a striking resemblance to the entertainer, admitting that they thought that Myrick’s child was also Drake’s.
“Oh this is DEFINITELY Drake’s son,” one person commented under Myrick’s post.
Another added: “She wants us to see how much he looks like Drake. This is clearly his son. Twin… where have you been? You can tell she is a good mom he looks like such a good kid!”
One person blatantly asked, “Girl, is this that man baby or not?? Gahhh damnnnnnnn,” referring to Drake.
Myrick might not be singing claims of Drake being her son’s father from the rooftops now, but she did admit online that her son was the Degrassi: The Next Generation alum’s ten years ago.
In 2014, Myrick brought attention to the theory by posting a side-by-side comparison of her child with Drake on social media, including the caption, “He can’t deny it. F–k what the media say.” What makes this story even more interesting is that once the story went viral at the time, Myrick deleted her Instagram, then-Twitter, and Facebook accounts. Despite the removal of her social media, some people were able to take screenshots of certain posts, which are now resurfacing.
What does this mean for Drake’s reputation? Only time will tell.
