Who Is Adonis Graham? Everything You Need to Know About Drake's Son Training at PSG's Academy

By CM NEWS Entertainment & Sports Desk | June 8, 2026

His name has been trending across football and entertainment social media for weeks, and for good reason. Adonis Graham — the son of global hip-hop superstar Drake — is training at the Paris Saint-Germain youth academy, and his father has now immortalised the fact in a lyric on one of 2026's biggest albums. But who exactly is Adonis Graham, and how did the son of Canada's most famous rapper end up at one of Europe's elite football academies?

Who Is Adonis Graham?

Drake's son Adonis is 8 years old in 2026, already showing talents in art, sports, and music, making him a well-rounded child in the public eye. [Celebs Orbit] Raised between Europe and North America, he is exposed to different cultures and creative environments from a young age — a dual heritage that has placed him at the centre of both the global music world and French football culture.

Adonis at PSG: What We Know

Adonis is enrolled in the PSG youth academy in Paris. [Tribuna.com] PSG's academy is one of the most respected in world football, having produced and developed generations of elite players. The academy system operates at multiple age levels and is known for its technical emphasis, high-intensity training environment, and the prestige of being associated with one of the world's wealthiest and most globally recognised football clubs.

For an eight-year-old boy growing up in Paris with a mother who is deeply embedded in French culture, the opportunity to train in PSG's youth system represents both a remarkable athletic opportunity and a natural extension of everyday Parisian life.

Drake's Pride: The 'Firm Friends' Lyric

Drake made his son's PSG journey public in the most Drake way possible — by putting it in a song. On the track "Firm Friends" from his *Iceman* album, Drake raps: "My son is taking corners in front of Luis Enrique at PSG." [X]

The lyric, name-dropping PSG head coach Luis Enrique directly, immediately resonated with both football fans and the hip-hop community, generating millions of social media interactions within hours of the album's release on May 15, 2026.

Already a Creative Prodigy

Adonis is not just making waves on the football pitch. He has already left a tangible mark on his father's music career. In 2023, he recorded a verse for "Daylight" on Drake's album For All the Dogs, and also created the hand-painted cover artwork for that same record — a drawing of a white goat on a black background that became one of the most recognised album covers of that year.

At just eight years old in 2026, Adonis Graham is already a published recording artist and a visual artist — in addition to his burgeoning football career at one of Europe's finest academies.

Sophie Brussaux: The Parent Behind the Journey

Much of Adonis's story is shaped by his mother. Sophie Brussaux is a French artist who raises Adonis primarily in France and plays a major role in nurturing his artistic skills and bilingual education. [Celebs Orbit] Her presence in Paris is central to how Adonis came to be involved with PSG's academy — living in France and being educated in both French and English, Adonis is being raised with a dual cultural identity that sets him apart from most celebrity children.

Drake and Brussaux co-parent Adonis and have been known to coordinate closely on his upbringing, with Drake regularly spending time in Paris and publicly sharing moments from his son's life on social media.

Conclusion

Adonis Graham is, at eight years old, already one of the most talked-about young people in global pop culture — not because of controversy, but because of genuine talent, a remarkable family story, and a father who loves him enough to write it all into his music. His journey at PSG's academy is just beginning, but the world is already watching.
