Xavier Trudeau, the 17-year-old son of outgoing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has embarked on his R&B career, sharing a promotional video on his Instagram account.
In the video, Xavier is seen wearing a hoodie and walking through the streets of Ottawa. The video reveals that his song, titled “Til The Nights Done,” is set to be released on February 21.
“We could roll sum / we could light one,” Trudeau Jr. is heard singing.
Netizens shared their thoughts on the promotional video in the comments section.
One Instagram user wrote, “Congrats for making a song hope you blow up.”
“Just put the fries in the bag bro,” another user posted.
“Good stuff Xav,” another fan commented.
On his son’s birthday last year, Justin Trudeau posted on X, “Today this little guy turns 17 (and is much taller than me)… Where did the time go? Watching Xav grow into such a brilliant, sensitive young man has been one of my greatest joys.”

Justin Trudeau family
Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie announced their separation in 2023, bringing an end to their nearly two-decade-long marriage.
Trudeau, 51, and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, 48, married in May 2005. The couple has three children: 14-year-old Ella-Grace, 15-year-old Xavier, and their youngest, 9-year-old Hadrien.
“They remain a close family and Sophie and the prime minister are focused on raising their kids in a safe, loving and collaborative environment…and Canadians can expect to often see the family together,” the prime minister’s office had said in a statement two years ago.
Trudeau’s resignation
On January 7, Justin Trudeau announced his decision to step down as Canada’s prime minister.
“I intend to resign as party leader, as Prime Minister, after the party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide competitive process. Last night, I asked the president of the Liberal Party to begin that process. This country deserves a real choice in the next election, and it has become clear to me that if I’m having to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election,” Reuters quoted Trudeau as saying. “The Liberal Party of Canada is an important institution in the history of our great country and democracy. A new Prime Minister and leader of the Liberal Party will carry its values and ideals into that next election. I’m excited to see the process unfold in the months ahead,” he added.
