@Koolo

the answer depends on some cultural context about north america that you may or may not have, being from another continent.

by and large, people who are black to any appreciable extent are considered, and treated black by the white majority. so even though drake (and obama) has a black father, yet grew up mostly with his white mother, drake (like obama) would be considered black by white people in omaha, and basically all over the country.

now there's definitely a complicating factor here: colorism, or the idea that non-white people are treated better the lighter their skin is/"whiter" their features are. this can be seen in how light-skinned and dark-skinned black people are treated by white people, by other black people, and by the press (and law enforcement, the judicial system, employers, etc). some would argue, convincingly, that an artist like drake benefits from his skin tone in a way a darker artist (say meek mill) never could.

but at the end of the day, drake is still black. as for why it's unacceptable here for white people to use the word, you have to remember that a vast majority of black people in north america were brought here against their will, as slaves. and since then, black people have never been on equal footing with their white counterparts. maybe if there's a distant future where the races are truly equal here, the word will lose some of its bite, but even then i doubt it.
