Meek Mill, who was born in Philadelphia, has roots in Ghana, Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Mali, Congo and Senegal.
Sharing a breakdown, he revealed the test showed his origin from the regions of Benin and Togo was 21%, Ghana and Ivory Coast with 18%, 18% from Nigeria, 14% from Cameroon, Congo and West Bantu Peoples; 8% from Mali; and 5% from Senegal.
Although Benin and Togo took the highest percentage, Meek Mill circled Ghana and Ivory Coast and tagged it "my second home."
This comes barely a week after Meek Mill came to Ghana.
The rapper who had always expressed interest in visiting the country performed at the AfroNation concert on Thursday, December 29.
