Whether it’s collaborating or a simple social media post, a Drake co-sign can go a long way. For Nigerian artist Oxlade, it resulted in millions of streams. During a recent interview with AllHipHop, the Afrobeats artist explained how Drake sharing his song “Away” to his Instagram Stories in November 2020 changed everything.
Drake noted that his dad, Dennis Graham, had sent him a screenshot of his DNA test that showed they were more Nigerian than any other race or tribe in the world.
Internationally famous U.S./Canadian rapper Aubrey Drake Graham, aka Drake, has sparked reactions online with a recent revelation about his ancestry. The rapper shared a clip on his Insta-story that had tickled the fancy of many of his Nigerian fans when he revealed that the DNA ancestry tests his father recently took showed that he was 30% Nigerian.
“It felt special,” he said. “He screenshotted the song on Apple Music and he posted it on his story. Ever since then, it’s been really crazy for me. I had three million streams the next day. Extra, that’s the Drake effect, man. Everybody needs the Drake effect. I obviously hit him up, I thanked him and everything.”
Oxlade is also hopeful of collaborating with Drake after sending a couple of tracks to him.
“Hopefully, we got something,” he revealed. “I’m optimistic. It’s a couple of songs that he’s got.”
