This was never the ending that Drake wanted. He set things straight while talking to the NBA Legend and said, "Of course, as life takes shape and teaches you your own lessons, I end up in this situation where I don’t have the fairy tale." He continued, "Like, ‘Oh, Drake started a family with Rihanna, and like, this is like so perfect.’ It’s more like Drake has—it looks so good on paper. By the way, I wanted that too at one time."

The Degrassi alum also opened up about his son, whom he did not publicly talk about until he debuted his album, Scorpion, in the track Emotionless. "I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world/I was hiding the world from my kid. ‘Breakin’ news in my life I don’t run to the blogs/ The only ones I wanna tell are the ones I can call," he rapped.

While sitting down with LeBron, he said, “I do want to be able to explain to my son what happened." He added, “but I don’t have any desire for him to like not love his mother or I don’t want like, I don’t ever want the world to be angry at his mother. We have found ourselves in a situation and we are both equally responsible and now, like, I’m just really excited to be a great father.”
