Dr. Umar has called on the OVO founder to confirm his racial identity.
The controversial black activist/motivational speaker asked Drizzy, “Do you identify as black first, or are you mixed race first, or are you Jewish first?”
Dr. Umar has an urgent request for clarification from the Toronto rapper over his mixed heritage following his battle with Kendrick Lamar.
Dr. Umar "Ifatunde" Johnson, a staunch Pan-Africanist and motivational speaker has shared a video on Instagram on Monday (July 15) in which he urged the 6 God to set the record straight on whether he identifies as a Black man first and foremost or sees himself as mixed race.
“For my brother Drake, I need you to clarify whether or not you are a Black man,” Umar said. “Some people are claiming my brother Drake, who I love and respect, that you embrace a mixed-race identity, that you do not embrace a Black-first identity. So, I have to ask my brother Drake to clear the record for me, Dr. Umar Ifatunde.
“Maybe we can have a sit down when I come to Toronto on October 5th and 6th, but I need you to clarify that for me, brother Drake. Brother Drake, I need you to clarify: are you a Black-first Black man? Or do you identify as mixed race?”
“Or do you identify as untouchable first? Do you primarily identify as an untouchable? Do you identify as mixed race? Or are you a Black-first Black man?” he continued.
“I need to know this, my brother Drake. You have to clarify this for me. Some people believe you only claim Black when it’s convenient. I’ve never seen you do that but I don’t follow you that closely.”
