# Famous Father Music Videos The New Arkells Music Video Features Drake's Dad By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-08-01 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drakes-dad References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/2016/07/29/drakes-dad-music-video/) & [pitchfork](http://pitchfork.com/news/67162-watch-whitney-perform-at-pitchfork-music-festival-2016/) This Arkells song is titled 'Drake's Dad' and features the man himself in the song's music video. The [Canadian rock band](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freaks-store-2) hails from Ontario, Canada, just as the Canadian rapper Drake does. It is only fitting that Dennis Graham, Drake's father, would feature in a Canadian's music video -- although most would assume it would likely be his own son's. The song was inspired by a meeting that the band had with Drake's dad in which they said he was quite gracious. Unsurprisingly, Graham agreed to feature in the music video for a song that was inspired by him and his relation to one of the most popular rappers in the world. This music video happened based on pure chance and is a humorous way to gain attention for the band behind it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Celebrity Tie-in Music Videos:** More musicians will feature famous celebrities in their music videos, creating mutually beneficial partnerships. - **Humorous Music Videos:** Humorous and lighthearted music videos will become more popular, providing a break from serious themes. - **Canadian Musicians Collaborations:** More Canadian musicians will join forces to showcase Canadian talent globally. ### Who This Affects Most - **Music Industry:** The music industry will see opportunities for unique marketing and promotional campaigns through celebrity tie-ins and humorous music videos. - **Celebrity and Entertainment Industry:** Celebrities and their representatives will see opportunities for cross-promotion and brand awareness through collaborations with musicians. - **Tourism Industry:** The tourism industry will benefit from increased attention on Canadian music and culture due to continued collaborations and partnerships between Canadian musicians. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Toronto Rapper-Backed Music Venues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-venue-history.md) - [Custom Rap Songs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paparap.md) - [Fathers Day Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/care-makes-a-dad.md) - [Commemorative Fatherhood Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fatherhood.md) - [Unity-Promoting Family Skate Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-skate.md) - [AI-Generated Rap Music Videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-you-more.md) - [Streetwear-Style Golf Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/callaway.md) - [AI-Generated Fatherhood Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glenlivet-fathers-day-campaign.md) - [Pizza-Themed Music Videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucha-little.md)
