Drake's 33rd birthday celebrations were certainly not ratchet.

Yesterday marked Drake's 33rd birthday and the rapper had a blowout to celebrate. If you follow him on Instagram, the rapper's Instagram Story was filled with reposts of birthday wishes from friends. The rapper remains low-key for the most part, even on social media. You'd probably expect him to be that way since he's such a big star but apparently, it's a bit deeper than that.

Drake shared a slew of photographs from his birthday bash last night where he posted up with the OVO/Reps Up gang, his mom, Adele, the Rap-A-Lot family, and more with a heartfelt caption reminding everyone that he's human, too. 

I’ve spent many nights over the last 4 or 5 years feeling like people did not like me or resented me for things beyond my control. I would sometimes settle into this mindset for months at a time. Today I woke up and looked at my phone and realized how much positive energy and how many unbreakable bonds I have in my life from incredible people. All the messages and posts just reminded me that I am covered in a blanket of love and support and I should never second guess that. Thank you for a truly uplifting day. Love you all forever.

Drake and company were looking dapper as ever during the birthday festivities which appeared to be casino-themed. Peep the post below.
