Drake's Dad defends R. Kelly and Jussie Smollett

Drake's dad believes R. Kelly and Jussie Smollett are innocent.

Dennis Graham recently spoke with Variety and defended the singer, who's been slapped with 10 sexual assault charges after a video was found that shows him allegedly abusing a 14-year-old girl. 

And Smollett was charged with felony disorderly conduct after being accused of staging his own attack in Chicago last month.

Graham stuck up for Kelly first.

"He’s a good friend of mine," he said.  "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%."

Then Drake's dad was asked about Smollett.

"Jussie has been misunderstood," he stated. "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."

Where do you stand on Kelly and Smollett?
