Drake has tested negative for COVID-19. During an Instagram Live session with his father Dennis Graham, the 6 God revealed he was tested during his self-imposed quarantine but had good news for his pops.
“I had to take a test yesterday,” Drake told his dad. “Yeah, I had to do a test, but it came back negative. That test is uncomfortable, though. They put that q-tip all the way inside your thoughts and shit.”
