Drake was born Aubrey Drake Graham on October 25, 1986 to an African Americaan musician father, Dennis Graham, and a Jewish-Canandian mother, Sandi Graham.
Explaining his dual heritage, Drake says according to biography.com: “At the end of the day, I consider myself a black man because I’m more immersed in black culture than any other. Being Jewish is kind of a cool twist. It makes me unique.”
