LOS ANGELES -- Drake has confirmed he's a father on his new album, "Scorpion." The 31-year-old Canadian rapper released his fifth album on Friday. In two songs, he addresses rumors that he fathered a son with a former French adult-film star.

In "Emotionless," Drake raps, "I wasn't hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid." In "March 14," he uses a Michael Jackson reference to say, "She not my lover like Billie Jean, but the kid is mine."

His announcement comes nearly a month after Pusha T's blistering diss track "The Story of Adinon," in which Pusha T accused Drake of hiding a child from the public.
