Today is Drake's 38th birthday, and to celebrate, he hosted a birthday bash in Houston last night. Footage from the event is now making its rounds on Twitter/X, revealing some of what the Toronto-born hitmaker was up to. He was surrounded by friends and family, who sang to him, brought him a massive cake in the shape of his birth year, and more.
He even previewed some unreleased music at the party, including one song reportedly called "Plot Twist." As expected, it's earned mixed reactions from listeners. While some can't wait for Drake to drop the full version, others insist he's fallen off, and expected more from him following his battle with Kendrick Lamar. Of course, there's also speculation that Drizzy takes shots at the Compton rapper towards the end of the snippet, though this is unconfirmed.
Drake Turns Up At His Houston Birthday Party
"His new stuff just doesn’t hit quite the same," one Twitter/X user writes in DJ Akademiks' replies. "This was the one I’ve been waiting for. Sounds like he’s about to start talking his sh*t on that beat switch," another says. Obviously, the mixed reactions here are nothing new and are to be expected considering the past few months. He earned similar responses from listeners of his new Chino Pacas collab, and pretty much everything else he's dropped following his feud with Kendrick.
Fortunately, Drake has also been receiving a lot of love from his fans and peers in honor of his birthday. Earlier today, for example, Sexyy Red wished him a happy birthday with a sweet Instagram post. "Happy Birthday to one of the nicest most humblest person I kno LOVE U BD ENJOY YO MONTH," she wrote. Her post was so kind that it prompted rumors about their relationship status, though as far as the internet knows, they're just friends.
