What did Drake say about Uncle Waffles?

Aubrey Drake Graham was born on October 24, 1986, in Toronto, Ontario. Dennis Graham is an African-American practicing Catholic from Memphis, Tennessee, who worked as a drummer with country musician Jerry Lee Lewis. Sandra “Sandi” Graham (née Sher) is a Canadian from an Ashkenazi Jewish family who worked as an English teacher and florist. Dennis Graham performed at Club Bluenote in Toronto, where he met Sandra Sher. Drake is a dual citizen of the United States and Canada, with American citizenship owing to his American father. In his youth, he attended a Jewish day school and became a bar mitzvah.

Drake was introduced to an acting agent’s father by a high school friend’s father when he was 15 years old. Drake landed a role on the Canadian teen drama series Degrassi: The Next Generation thanks to his agent. Drake played Jimmy Brooks, a basketball star who was shot by a classmate and became physically disabled as a result. Drake reportedly disliked this character arc because of its obvious tokenism (he was one of the series’ only black characters), and he also believed it would harm his reputation as a rapper. Longtime series writer James Hurst stated that Drake threatened to sue to rewrite the storyline before agreeing to it. Madeleine Robinson, executive director of the non-profit organization Wheelchair 4 Kids in California, praised the plot and Drake’s performance, noting that “he instilled confidence and representation” in disabled youth. Drake responded when asked about his early acting career, “My mother was in critical condition. We were impoverished, almost bankrupt. The only money I had was from Canadian television.” Between 2001 and 2008, he appeared in 100 episodes. Drake expressed interest in playing Barack Obama in a biopic in 2010, to which Obama responded positively in a 2020 interview.
