In light of the results of a recent genealogy test conducted by his family, well-known American rapper Aubrey Drake Graham, AKA Drake, has asserted that he might be Nigerian.
The American musician Drake is thought to be worth $250 million and is said to earn $70 million annually in earnings.
Drake disclosed he is 30% Nigerian by posting the results of his father’s heritage test on social media.
He revealed it in a post on his Instagram account posted on Sunday (7 May 2023)
He responded, “Does this mean I’m a Naija man at last?” in response to his father’s results.
Drake is not the first famous person from outside of Nigeria to do so. Beyoncé, SZA, Diddy, and a plethora of others have in the past asserted that their roots originated in Nigeria.
Rihanna stated her Igbo ancestry last year. Later, she clarified that she left out Nigeria because it didn’t exist when her ancestors departed Igboland’s shores.
However, his most recent disclosure prompted the following responses from his Nigerian fans:
@omojiatecovenant: “I too dey suspect cause the guy too like betting, Nigerians and betting ehnn.”
@therayztv: “You mean Nnamdi Drake Nwachukwu.”
@realtimmywrld, ”He is so happy his ancestors are Nigerian and some Nigerian are sad that they were born in Nigeria this life no balance,”
@30bgnurse said: “His DNA spread wings all over the world; his ancestors were very busy.”
@ifymelo_: “American musicians like Nigeria sha. Even us wey come from the country gan gan we no like am reach them.”
