The 6 God treated fans and a gaggle of celebrities from Cher to Serena Williams to his classics for longer than his scheduled time.

It's Super Bowl Weekend, and Drake just recreated his now-iconic Apollo Theater performance at a pop-up party. Moreover, the event took place at Hanger 1 of Scottsdale Airport, and also featured a stellar performance from Cardi B. Also, there were a whole slew of celebrities in attendance who caused quite the stir of their own. As Drizzy took the stage, he shouted out his "brother Zach" and said promoters originally asked him for a couple of songs for 20 minutes. Moreover, he said since Zach missed the Apollo show, he asked fans if they'd rather hear the classics. Of course, they roared and cheered, and his show got started.

Furthermore, Cardi B also performed, although it seems she also did another event at W Hotels. Still, maybe they're all part of the same umbrella, and are definitely all part of the same weekend-long party. Tomorrow (February 12), the Kansas City Chiefs will face the Philadelphia Eagles with a halftime spectacle from Rihanna. As such, there were a lot of celebrities in attendance last night (February 11), most notably Cher and boo AE Edwards. While their relationship is one of the more polarizing online, you can't deny it's also one of the most eye-catching.

Meanwhile, Winnie Harlow came through in a beautiful and creatively cut denim jumpsuit. However, not everyone's fashion choices were as beloved, as Rich the Kid rocked the viral Big Red Boots from MSCHF. Also in attendance were Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox, the former in what looks like a tight Care Bears top and black leather pants. Fox, on the other hand, wore a black dress and even matched MGK's pink sunglasses with a pink hand cast.

However, even Serena Williams made it to the bash. Of course, this should raise eyebrows for any Drake fan given his recent disses on his album Her Loss. On the track "Middle of the Ocean," he called her husband a "groupie" for seemingly little to no reason. If anyone can get away with these kinds of bars, it's Drake, but it was odd to see Serena witness her former flame. Who knows what awkward interaction might've happened. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news on Drake and what Super Bowl Weekend will bring.
