Drake’s father, Dennis Graham, has voiced his support for R and B singer, R. Kelly, and ‘Empire’ actor, Jussie Smollett whom he described his friends.
Kelly is standing trial for 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse against four victims, three of them minors, and was released from custody on Monday after posting $100,000 bail following his plea that he is not guilty of the charges against him.
Smollett, on the other hand, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and filing a false police report, claiming two men attacked him in January. The 36-year-old black and openly gay actor on the hip-hop TV drama “Empire” was also granted a $100,000 bail.
Graham was asked to give his thoughts on R & B superstar Kelly and Empire star Smollett during a chat with Variety on his new single.
He said about Kelly;
“He’s a good friend of mine. I wish him the best. I hate that it’s happening to him. There’s a reason why women come out after the fact. He has my support 100%.”
Also for Smollett, Graham said Smollett has been misunderstood.
“Jussie has been misunderstood. As a matter of fact, they know that. That story that came out about Jussie in Chicago is not true about Jussie.
“Jussie is a friend of mine, also. They have totally reconstructed his story.”
