Drake Sings ‘I Want It That Way’ With Backstreet Boys at 40th Birthday Bash

The rapper capped a week of festivities with a lavish New York celebration — complete with designer gifts and a $1 million game show.

Drake rang in his 40th birthday with more than 400 guests, million-dollar prizes and a surprise performance from the Backstreet Boys — one day after adding another record to his already historic résumé.

The Toronto superstar celebrated at New York’s Casa Cipriani on Friday night (Oct. 23), hours before officially turning 40 on Oct. 24. According to TMZ, guests were treated to luxury giveaways including Chanel and Hermès handbags, while a game show held during the party offered cash prizes ranging from tens of thousands of dollars up to $1 million.
