Aubrey Drake Graham (born October 24, 1986) is a Canadian rapper and singer better known as Drake. Drake, a prominent character in modern popular music, is credited with popularising singing and R&B tendencies in hip-hop.
Following his success as Jimmy Brooks in the CTV adolescent drama series Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001-08), he embarked on a singing career in 2006, releasing his debut mixtape Room for Improvement in February of that year. Before joining Young Money Entertainment, he released the mixtapes Comeback Season (2007) and So Far Gone (2009).
Who are Drake’s parents?
Sandra Graham, Drake’s mother, is a Canadian of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. She was an English instructor as well as a florist. Sandra Graham and Drake’s father, Dennis Graham, divorced when Drake was just five years old, and Sandra received full custody of Drake as a result of the divorce. Sandra Graham appears to have a good connection with her ex-husband, as he wished her a happy birthday in 2021.
Dennis, Drake’s biological father, is a musician and drummer. Dennis is of African-American descent. He was born in the American city of Memphis, Tennessee. Dennis has shared the stage with country music legend Jerry Lee Lewis. Dennis Graham is said to have other children than Drake. He returned to Memphis following his divorce from Sandra. He was later imprisoned for several years on drug-related offenses.
Meanwhile, Drake is not married and does not have a wife as of November 2023. He has, however, been involved in a number of high-profile romances with a number of stunning and renowned women.
He dated SZA between 2008 and 2009, and was in an on-again, off-again relationship with Rihanna from 2009 to 2016. He has mentioned the relationship in every one of his studio albums, and when presenting Rihanna with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award in 2016, he said “she’s a woman I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old.” On his relationship with her, he said on the talk show The Shop:
“As life takes shape and teaches you your own lessons, I end up in this situation where I don’t have the fairy tale [of] ‘Drake started a family with Rihanna, [it’s] so perfect.’ It looks so good on paper [and] I wanted it too at one time”
