Drake is celebrating his wins.

The 6 God teamed up with Nike for the second edition of his Nocta Manor event in New Jersey to commemorate the end of the World Cup. As celebrities and athletes join the rapper on the leisurely getaway, he has decorated the site's basketball court with championship banners celebrating his own successes on the Billboard charts.


Hanging above the rim are several of his historic Billboard achievements, including a record 400+ entries on the Billboard Hot 100, 42 songs charting simultaneously, ten No. 1 debuts, 74 top 10 debuts, 90 top 10 hits and 431 consecutive weeks spent on the chart from 2009-2017, the most out of any artist.

With his recent trio of albums Iceman, Maid of Honour and Habibti, Drake unlocked new records, which are also on display. Iceman is currently spending a fifth non-consecutive week at No. 1 in Canada, and it became his 15th No. 1 back when it debuted, breaking his tie with Jay-Z for the most No. 1 albums among rappers. The album's hit single "Janice STFU" earned him a record 14th No. 1 on the Canadian Hot 100, making him the artist with the most No. 1s in Canada (which Taylor Swift recently tied) and the male soloist with the most No. 1s in the U.S., ahead of Michael Jackson.

In addition to its record-adorned basketball court, tennis and padel courts, a private chef and DJ sets are just some of the goods that Drake and Nocta have to offer with the retreat, which is dedicated to leisure time and being an escape from the busyness of everyday life.

"It’s an honour to bring everyone together. I’m sure everyone here has plenty going on in their life, and to all our partners and fellow creators, designers, collaborators, incredible athletes, Nocta Manor is just a great chance to give everybody a break, a rest, to feel at ease," Drake said in a speech to his guests.

The Toronto rapper has also spoiled them with exclusive merch, including a 'What Did I Miss?' sleeping mask, a pair of 'Shabang' slippers named after his top 10 hit in Canada and a green silk pyjama set, plus Nocta Manor-branded hoodies, rugby polos and more. He has also been sporting a highly-detailed, custom silk robe designed by Italian designer Domenico Formichetti.

Many of The Boy's close friends and have been seen at the manor, including NBA players Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, who Drake has appeared alongside in several recent comedic Nike commercials. Rappers Loe Shimmy and Sexyy Red were spotted posting for a group photo with their Habibti collaborator and Billboard Canada 40 Under 40 honouree and star manager Simon Gebrelul can be seen singing along with Drake in one clip, shortly after the pair celebrated Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's birthday together last week.

This past weekend, Drake was spotted at the FIFA World Cup Final, watching from Nike's exclusive suite alongside Durant, Booker, Sexyy Red and other frequent collaborators like Yeat and Central Cee. Most of them were also present at the inaugural Nocta Manor in Windsor, England last year, which followed Drake's three-day headlining stint at Wireless Festival in London.
