Regarding the former shortstop, Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. stated, “Yeah, that is your DNA cousin.”

“You’re playing tricks on me!” The performer of “How We Roll” went on. “Derek Jeter!”

Gates told the crowd, “Ladies and gentlemen, she is looking at former New York Yankees Derek Jeter.”A voiceover described the scientific evidence that connected Derek and Ciara as “sharing a long identical stretch of DNA on their 14th chromosome DNA, which we know Derek inherited from his mother.” “The day I discovered that @DerekJeter was my cousin!
