Not just the stars, their younger ones too dominated headlines at the Billboard Music Awards 2021 held at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles. If Pink’s performance with her nine-year-old daughter was a highlight, Drake’s rare appearance with his little son Adonis became a talking point. The moment took place amid the singer extending his record of the most number of awards at the awards.

Drake had his near and dear ones by his side, as his family and friends, presented him the Artist of the Decade award. Dressed in a grey suit, the Find Your Love artist walked with his three-year-old son Adonis, dressed in a checkered shirt and black pants, to the stage.  Drake even lifted the little one, and kissed him while dedicating the award to him and making him hold his award.

He said, “I wanna dedicate this award to my friends, to my longtime collaborators ... to my beautiful family, and to you,” he said while looking at Adonis and then departing while holding his hand.
