Actor-turned-rapper Drake, known for his global musical influence and numerous chart-topping hits, has recently unveiled a surprising connection to Scotland. The 37-year-old Canadian, born Aubrey Graham received this revelation through a DNA testing kit ordered by his father, Dennis.
While the pair expected to discover ties to Nigeria and Cameroon, the discovery of Scottish ancestry added an unexpected layer to Drake’s heritage. The revelation brings him into the fold of the millions of North Americans who can claim Scottish roots.
Drake’s connection to Scotland became particularly significant after he performed two unforgettable gigs in Glasgow back in 2017. During those performances, he proudly declared himself a member of the Tartan Army, as reported by the Daily Record.
Expressing his gratitude to his Scottish fans, Drake reminisced, saying, “I am grateful for every fan that turns up to see me perform, but I will always remember being in Scotland in 2017; it was an unforgettable experience. Over those two nights, Scotland gave me two of the most insane crowds I have ever experienced. The Tartan Army took me into their hearts, and I took them into mine right back. Ever since then, I have felt part Scottish.”
Reflecting on the importance of understanding one’s heritage, especially regarding ancestry and ethnicity, Drake shared, “I have always been so interested in ancestry and ethnicity – I feel it is so important to have an understanding about who you are and what makes up your DNA. My dad had his ancestry looked into, and while the biggest percentages were Nigeria and Cameroon, we actually had it confirmed that we do have some Scottish ancestry, so that probably explains the love Scotland and I have for each other.”
Dwight Howard is in the holiday spirit! Fans reached out to Dwight, asking if he could open his heart and giveaway signed sneakers and Jerseys. The NBA Champion not only complied and delivered on Thanksgiving eve— he gave away, 12 autographed Basketball Jerseys that he wore during various games.

It’s not about receiving material rewards, but rather the intangible rewards of joy, happiness, and peace that come from making a positive impact on someone else’s life. I am a firm believer in the concept of paying it forward and spreading kindness wherever I go.” – Dwight Howard
In addition, Dwight also gave away a Jersey and pair of autographed Kobe Grinches sneakers along with pairs of his own sneakers as well. As a bonus, he picked on a lucky fan on Tik Tok and sent them the Jersey from his first game in Taiwan, where he scored 38 points 25 rebounds, 9 assists and 4 blocks. There may be some “Superman Powers” in that Jersey!
Dwight didn’t limit the reach as he opened this up to fans worldwide picking winners from Nigeria, Philippines, Taiwan, India, U.S.A and more.
“Ultimately, giving back is my way of expressing gratitude for the many blessings I have been given. It is a way for me to give back to the world and make it a better place, one act of kindness at a time. I am committed to continuing to give back and to always be a source of light and hope for those in need.” – Dwight Howard
