Drake is about to get a huge award and he wants his family close as he receives it.
Billboard will bestow the Artist of the Decade Award on Drizzy Sunday night and it's clearly something that's meaningful to him. His mom, who almost never makes a public appearance, will be front and center as her son accepts the honor ... this according to production sources.
Drake's son, Adonis, will also be in the audience ... watching his dad clutch the award.
The award is a big deal ... previous winners include Mariah Carey in the 1990s and Eminem in the 2000s.

Drake has snagged 27 Billboard Music Awards, and that makes him the record-holder. He received 12 in 2019 alone. As accomplished as he is, Drake was stoked to dine with his idol ... Ronald Isley of the Isley Brothers. Drake said he was "high on life" after dining with Ron.
BTW ... Nick Jonas will host the event, which airs on NBC at 8 PM.
The only thing bigger for Drake might be a chance to play for the Raptors.
Congrats!!!
