God’s Plan: Drake’s Dad Shooting Pilot for His Very Own Talk Show, Master P to Appear in First Episode

Drake‘s father, Dennis Graham, has never seemed to be camera-shy, and now he may be getting his own TV show. The potential series is called “Fame and Family,” which Graham said his famous son fully supports.

“I’m filming a new TV show, where I’m interviewing the parents of superstars,” he told TooFab. “Today I interviewed Master P and Deon Cole from ‘Black-ish.’ It’s going to be fantastic. Drake just called me, and I shared it with him, and he goes ‘Dad, that’s the best thing you ever done.'”

Graham said he recently started filming the pilot, which will soon be finished and it will have a heavy focus on family. Segments will also show Drake’s dad visiting family run mom-and-pop stores, and he’ll begin shopping it with the hopes a network will pick it up.

Wendy Williams talked about the possible series on a recent episode of “The Wendy Williams Show,” and she thought it was a brilliant idea, one that Beyoncé‘s father Mathew Knowles should’ve done first.

“Mathew Knowles, not for nothing, I’m not trying to start dad beef, but this was supposed to be your show, “she told her studio audience.

Later, Williams said if it were up to her, Graham would be interviewing non-famous parents, because it would make for a more interesting show. Mainly because people already know about celebrities like Master P, but a parent without a huge name would be more revealing.

People had a lot to say about the potential series, but more seemed to comment on Graham’s appearance.

“Dennis looking like a whole pimp and walrus hybrid,” someone wrote on YouTube.

“I can’t look at Drake’s dad..that mustache 🤮,” a second person wrote.

“Drake’s dad looks like a 70s blaxploitation pimp,” someone else commented.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
