Through her parents, she also has Ashkenazi Jewish heritage, although their identity remains unknown.

Sandi Graham was a devoted and passionate mother. She gave birth to her son, Aubrey Drake Graham. on October 24, 1986 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Due to the early breakdown of her marriage to Drake’s father, Sandi had to raise Drake on her own after being granted custody of her son. Raising a child alone was not an easy task for the expectant mother.
Sandi Graham had to work multiple jobs to be able to care for her and her son. Among the most important is to work as an English teacher and double as a florist. Years later, Drake would admit that one of his only regrets was not finishing school, as his mother took education very seriously.
Sandi raised her son according to Jewish customs, she even saw him celebrate his Bar Mitzvah. For his education, Graham enrolled Drake at Vaughan Road Academy, where he remained in sixth grade. She then transferred him to the more prestigious Forest Hill Collegiate Institute, where he faced a great deal of racism due to his African-Canadian heritage. Both schools were located in polarized neighborhoods; Vaughan Road Academy was located in the working-class west of Oakwood called Weston Road, while Forest Hill was located in an affluent neighborhood in downtown Toronto.
Sandi Graham has always tried to give her son the best of everything. She’s made sure to support him from his debut on the Canadian teen drama series Degrassi: The Next Generation to his now-burgeoning music career.
Today, Sandi enjoys hearing her son serenade her on her social media and in myriad songs like “You & The 6” and “Can’t Have All,” inspired by her. Sandi is also a fashionista and is happy with her life and her relationship with her son. They are often seen together, whether out for a walk or catching a game.
Who is Sandi Graham’s ex-husband, Drake’s mother?
Sandi did not give birth to Drake out of wedlock, she was legally married to her husband, Dennis Graham. Dennis is a musician and former drummer for Jerry Lee Lewis. Dennis met Sandi Graham at the Bluenote club, where he was performing in Toronto. Dennis then approached her and they agreed.
Dennis has dual citizenship of Canada and the United States, but he resided in Toronto, Canada during the time he was married to Sandi. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned with their union, and the couple broke up five years after Drake. Dennis then moved back to Memphis, Tennessee, while Sandi stayed behind to raise her son on her own.
Dennis spent little time with his son when he took him on vacation to Memphis as a kid. However, he was soon imprisoned on drug-related charges. This and financial difficulties prevented him from renewing ties with Drake until a young age. Although Sandi’s ex-husband is in a relationship with her son, it’s clear that Drake’s favorite parent is clearly Sandi.
