Drake was born to parents Dennis and Sandi Grahams (nee Sher) in 1986. However, the rapper spent most of his childhood with his mother after his parents split when he was five.

In a 2016 interview with Office magazine, musician Dennis Grahams recalled meeting Sandi Sher for the first time. He met her during his first trip to Canada when he was performing at a bar with Jerry Lee Lewis.

“That’s [Canada] where I met Drake’s mother. I was at the bar, asking the bartender where I could find cigarettes. So, she goes — Sandi, is her name — she goes, ‘Here, have one of mine.’ And that was it,” Grahams recalled.

Grahams moved to Toronto and married Sandi in June 1985. The couple welcomed their only son, Aubrey Grahams, aka Drizzy, in October 1986. In 1991, the Grahams split up, and Sandi took full custody of Drizzy. The rapper was five at that time.

In an appearance on The Shop, Drizzy recalled the time of his parents' separation and said:

“I was really hard on my parents for giving me sort of a childhood that I had to wrap my mind around as I grew. Multiple times I sort of suggested that they could have done a better job at co-parenting, sticking together, not being so divided.”

The Toronto-based rapper also explained that he would like to set a better example for his son Adonis as a single father. Drake had welcomed his son with Sophie Brussaux in 2017.

“I am a single father learning to communicate with a woman who, we’ve had our moments. No matter what happens, I have unconditional love for the mother of my child because I want him to love his mother and I have to project that energy.

“I didn’t come from that [peace]. I came from my mother being like, ‘Your dad is this.’ My dad would never speak ill of my mother — ever, ever, ever. My mother is the nicest, kindest, sweetest woman, but she’s a woman scorned and a woman who is exhausted."

In his music, Drake often mentions his parents, particularly his love for his mother. In his 2009 single The Calm, the rapper mentioned both his parents. Later, he also referred to Sandi Grahams in his tracks You & The 6 and God's Plan. In honor of his parents, Drizzy has tattoos of both of them on his skin. His father has also returned the favor.
