Things got a little emotional for Drake's son Adonis on Sunday night when his dad accepted the Artist of the Decade Award during the 2021 Billboard Music Awards.

Taking to the stage with three-year-old Adonis in tow, the Canadian rapper thanked his fans before revealing that he's actually "really bad at taking compliments."

The iconic 6ix rapper went on to add, "I'm really self-conscious about my music. Even if I do a good job, I always wonder how I could have done it better. I rarely celebrate anything."

"I know I've spent an incalculable amount of hours trying to analyze all the things I did wrong," he continued, "but tonight for once, I'm sure as hell we did something right."

As Drake began thanking his "beautiful family" and son for their support, Adonis appeared to become overwhelmed by the crowd and burst into tears, before attempting to walk offstage.

However, his dad was quick to scoop up his son and wrap up the speech before there were too many tears. Pretty cute, eh?
