Drake's relationship with his father Dennis Graham is difficult. The rapper grew up with his mother, Graham was often not there. Already in 2011, Drake rapped in the song "Look What You've Done": His father is now in Memphis, can not come pay no maintenance.
In a radio interview in early October, the moderator Graham asked about these allegations. "I've always been with Drake," he said. He spoke to him every day or almost every day. He had a long conversation with Drake about the allegations. "I said, 'Drake, why are you telling this stuff about me? That's not alright, man.'" According to Graham, his son answered, "Dad, that sells records."
The rappers could not stop that. Drake wrote on Instagram: "I woke up feeling deeply hurt today." The note has since been deleted, but CNN and CBS have documented it verbatim.
His father was ready to say anything if only someone was listening to him. "It's sad when families get that way," Drake wrote, according to the reports. But you could not do anything, it was just the people you were chained to all your life. "Every line I cut out is true, but the truth is hard for some to bear."
