International Canadian rapper Aubrey Drake Graham, better known as Drake, has sparked reactions online with a recent revelation about his ancestry.
The rapper shared a clip on his Insta-story that had tickled the fancy of many of his Nigerian fans when he revealed that the DNA ancestry tests his father recently took showed that he was 30% Nigerian.
According to Drake who rhetorically asked in his post on Instagram if he can finally call himself a Nigerian, the DNA test showed they were more Nigerian than any other race or tribe in the world.
Drake’s revelation has elicited wild reactions from some Nigerians who seem excited about the news.
