Probably the World’s most commercially successful rapper to ever touch a mic, Canadian rapper Drake just confirmed he might be Nigerian.
Over the last decade, we have seen Drake get into the Afrobeat music scene for a lot of reasons.
From jumping on Wizkid’s Ojuelegba remix to finally making a global record on “One Dance” with Wizkid. The rapper has been all up on our faces.
The rapper took to Instagram early this morning to share what he described as being his Father’s ancestry result, which indicates a whopping 33% of which indicates he is Nigerian.

The rapper who without doubt enjoys Afrobeat as much as we all do, seem to be delighted about the discovery as he shared the result with the caption “This is my dad’s result, Does this mean I’m a Naija man finally?”
Nigerians have taken to social media to share their reactions on the matter. A lot of which have been more of a joyful feeling for everyone.
However, what will Drake being Nigerian mean for the Hip-hop community? We have seen French Montana, embrace Morocco fully since discovering he was Moroccan, do you think Drake will do the same?
French Montana, since he discovered he was Moroccan has travelled to the country from time to time and shared in the country’s culture while contributing his quota to the Moroccan music industry.
The question I am looking to ask is, “What will this revelation contribute to the Nigerian Hip-hop community?”
