The rapper shared a screenshot of his father’s DNA test results on his Instagram story. The test was posted on Ancestry.com, an American genealogy website.

The DNA analysis further discovered that Drake’s father has a multi-ethnic background, including roots in Nigeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Mali, Benin, and Togo.

His lineage in Nigeria surpluses all with 30% while Ghana and Ivory Coast share 11%, Cameroon, Congo and other Western countries with 28%, Mali with 7% and Benin and Togo sharing 4.

Drake seemed thrilled with the discovery, captioning his Instagram post with a question, “This is my dad’s result. Does this mean I am a Naija man finally?”

Drake joins the multiple westerners whose ancestry have traced them to Africa, especially West Africa.

Meek Mill excited after DNA reveals he is partly Ghanaian https://www.adomonline.com/meek-mill-excited-after-dna-reveals-he-is-partly-ghanaian/ Thu, 05 Jan 2023 12:40:16 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2202225 Rapper Meek Mill no longer solely identifies as an American as his ancestry has placed him in nine different countries in Africa.

Known privately as Robert Rihmeek Williams, Meek was born and bred in Philadelphia, USA, where he has made all his memories from childhood education to his professional career.

But, a latest ancestry trait has revealed he has roots in Ghana, Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Mali, Congo and Senegal.

A breakdown of the DNA results he shared on his Instagram platform proved his ancestors were originals to the regions of Benin and Togo with 21%, Ghana and Ivory Coast with 18%, 18% from Nigeria, 14% from Cameroon, Congo and West Bantu Peoples; 8% from Mali; and 5% from Senegal.

Meek shared his excitement on social media, especially for his Ghana and Ivory Coast where he labelled his second home.

It is no longer surprising why Meek Mill fell in love with Ghana and received the best reception in his two weeks of being in the country.

Meek’s celebratory visit to Ghana comes days after the judge who handed him a two-to-four-year prison sentence in 2017 was stripped of her cases and accused of ethical misconduct.

He had the opportunity to perform at the Afronation and also had an encounter with the hospitable Ghanaians who altogether gave him the time of his life.
