Drake Celebrates 40th Birthday by Giving Away $1 Million and Performing With Backstreet Boys

Drake just turned 40, and apparently, when you’re Drake, birthday parties come with million-dollar giveaways!

The rapper celebrated his milestone birthday with an extravagant party at Casa Cipriani in New York City, and according to PEOPLE, the night was anything but ordinary.

Instead of receiving gifts, Drake was handing them out! Guests reportedly walked away with luxury Chanel and Hermès bags, plus cash prizes starting at $10,000, with one lucky person scoring a whopping $1 MILLION!

And the entertainment? The Backstreet Boys!

The iconic boy band performed at the party, with Drake even joining them onstage to sing their hit “I Want It That Way.”

Around 400 guests reportedly attended the celebration, but Drake wasn’t finished partying.

He hosted a second birthday bash the following night, with celebrities including Travis Scott, Jack Harlow, and Alix Earle in attendance.

So, if you’re wondering what to get the guy who has everything for his birthday, apparently the answer is nothing. He’ll just give YOU a million dollars instead!
