Drake's Dad Reveals the One Gift His Son Always Wanted

It's surprisingly not very expensive.

The holidays are upon us and whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or something else, there’s always something on your wish list.

For Drake, we know what’s on his list... or at least what he hope to receive as a young boy. According to his father Dennis, who’s from Memphis but celebrated Hanukkah with the rapper and his Jewish mother in Toronto annually when he was a kid, Drake always wanted one thing.

“A dreidl,” he told TMZ while beginning to laugh. “It was Hanukkah. He always used to look forward to the eight days of gifts, and then Christmas. So he had both of them.”   

Luckily for the “Hotline Bling” hit-maker he can afford millions of dreidels now if he so obliges. It’s also good to know he was in the spirit of the holiday.
