It’s no secret that Drake and Sophie’s relationship has had some major issues in the past. Heck, the “God’s Plan” rapper even referred to the mother of his child as a “fluke.”
When Drake found out about Sophie’s pregnancy, he allegedly asked her to terminate it. In a series of texts alleged to have been between the duo, Drake alluded to Sophie trying to get money out of him. At the time, the rapper denied having fathered a child with Brussaux. His reps issued a statement to the press that attacked Sophie’s character. They stated that she was one of the many women who claimed that Drake got them pregnant.
She also received a lot of backlash online, as some people agreed with Drake. Sophie was accused of being a gold-digger and trying to use the pregnancy to get financial benefits from Drake.

We’re told Drake’s been supporting Sophie since she gave birth, and just before that as well.”
It is unknown how much Drake pays Sophie per month in child support, as a figure has never been revealed. However, reports claims that he spares no expense when it comes to his son. He once chartered a private jet for Adonis and his mom to visit him during the holidays.

She has definitely made a name for herself as a visual artist. Sophie has painted portraits of some famous names, including Beyoncé and Leonardo DiCaprio. She even delivered a custom-made portrait of the Pope to the Vatican.
Part of her website’s about section reads:
“Sophie Brussaux is a woman in charge of her own destiny. She is an artist, mother, feminist, humanist, and adventurer. Sophie Brussaux is more than the mother of a rapper’s firstborn and an artist who paints bright, surrealist portraits of other famous people.”
“It’s clear the second you meet her, enraptured in conversations and ideas for the past, present, and future,” the site continues.
Brussaux also co-founded a non-profit organization called Arts Help. It is a digital platform that partners with large institutions to develop impactful projects and programming.
