Following the results of a recent ancestry test by his family, popular American musician Aubrey Drake Graham, AKA Drake, has claimed he may be Nigerian.
Drake, an American music singer, is estimated to have a net worth of $250 million and reputedly earns $70 million in annual earnings.
Drake disclosed on social media that he is 30% Nigerian after sharing his father’s heritage results.
He made the announcement on his Instagram page on Sunday.
He wrote, “This is my dad’s results, does this mean I’m a Naija man finally?.”
Drake is not the first global celebrity to claim Nigerian ancestry. Beyoncé, SZA, Diddy, and a slew of other celebrities have previously claimed Nigerian origins.
Rihanna stated last year that her origins were Igbo. She then clarified that she didn’t name Nigeria because the country didn’t exist when her ancestors departed Igboland.
However, his recent disclosure has elicited the following reactions from his Nigerian fans:
According to @30bgnurse, “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.”
@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,”
Drake’s announcement of his Nigerian origin has inspired great excitement and pride among Nigerians all over the world. This revelation stresses the importance of recognizing one’s background and urges others to conduct DNA testing to learn more about their own ancestors.
