Drake's father Dennis Graham is currently promoting his new single 'That on That' and, in a new interview, he spoke about his 'good friend' R Kelly and Jussie Smollett. R Kelly had recently pleaded not guilty to 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Speaking of this, Dennis said, "He’s a good friend of mine. I wish him the best."

In an interview with Variety, the singer-songwriter also said that he hated what was happening to R Kelly at this point. He said, "I hate that it’s happening to him. There’s a reason why women come out after the fact. He has my support 100 per cent."
