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 turned 40 and celebrated at a lavish party in New York with over 400 guests and million-dollar prizes. The Toronto superstar enjoyed luxury giveaways, including Chanel and Hermès handbags, while the Backstreet Boys performed during the event. The Backstreet Boys made headlines by joining Drake onstage for their hit “I Want It That Way,” a song that held personal significance for the artist.

Earlier in the week, Drake received a birthday surprise at the CN Tower in Toronto, where he was presented with a photo collage. The Backstreet Boys' appearance was not the only milestone for Drake; he also received 30 new RIAA-certified awards, making him the first artist to surpass 350 million certified units.
