Award-winning music star Drake has disclosed that his father, Dennis Graham, possesses 80% African lineage, making him a descendant of Ghana as well.
The rapper shared a screenshot of his father’s DNA test results on his Instagram story. The test was posted on Ancestry.com, an American genealogy website.
The DNA analysis further discovered that Drake’s father has a multi-ethnic background, including roots in Nigeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Mali, Benin, and Togo.
His lineage in Nigeria surpluses all with 30% while Ghana and Ivory Coast share 11%, Cameroon, Congo and other Western countries with 28%, Mali with 7% and Benin and Togo sharing 4.
Drake seemed thrilled with the discovery, captioning his Instagram post with a question, “This is my dad’s result. Does this mean I am a Naija man finally?”
Drake joins the multiple westerners whose ancestry have traced them to Africa, especially West Africa.
