Drake’s Dad Gets Clowned by Wendy Williams After He Tears Into Talk Show Host

Wendy Williams has hit reply to Drake’s dad and she took a jab at him along the way.

Dennis Graham got upset Wednesday, May 30 when he caught wind of Williams discussing his son’s beef with Pusha T on her talk show.

Among her remarks were Drake’s use of blackface — a photo of which was used on the cover of Pusha’s diss track, “The Story of Adonis” — and saying that Rihanna “dodged a bullet” by leaving the rapper.

“This picture’s disgusting,” she says. “Drake, who are you? So, this is what you have to do to be a top contender on radio now? I’m so turned off. Eww.

“So, you don’t write your own music? So, anything you say is not really from your heart,” she added. “You’re stupid enough to wear blackface with the cha, cha, cha hands at that … and then, what’s this we hear about you having a baby with a stripper?”

Drake is alleged to have fathered a child with a former adult film actress, who he is reported to have supported since before his son was born.

The comments — along with Williams stating Pusha accused Drake of parading his dad around in Steve Harvey suits — seemed to have sent Graham over the edge.

“This Rupaul Drag Race queen looking B#+##^ has stepped out of her lane,” he wrote on Instagram. “You know nothing about Drake or myself. Do your research before you try and be funny to your 79 capacity audience, Rupaul Jr. WATCH HOW YOU SPEAK ON OUR NAME!!!!!!!! I lost all respect for you today !!!!”

In response, Williams seemed puzzled about why Graham got so heated.

“I don’t know why Drake’s dad is mad,” she wrote in a note posted to Instagram. “All I did was recite Pusha’s lyrics.

“All jokes aside I really like Steve Harvey’s suits,” she added. “He’s a sharp dresser. And that Beefsteak Charlie mustache that Drake’s dad has is mean. Just mean.”

The post was punctuated with a crying laughing emoji in the caption.

Fans applauded the joke in the comments.

“Drake’s dad just wanted to extend himself to promote himself…he really looks like a pimp.😂😂😂.”

“LMAO this is grade A shade😂😂😂😂😂 love it.”

“Wendy straight no chaser and hold the ice…hit ya gut ugh 😄😃”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
