Never one to exercise restraint when it comes to his wristwear, Drake brought out his one-of-one, diamond-encrusted Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, reportedly worth multiple millions. The watch is engraved with the phrase “Freeze the World,” a lyric from his song “Make Them Know” off “Iceman.” An appropriately ostentatious finishing touch for a man with a heart-stopping collection of rare timepieces, custom jewelry, and highly coveted Hermès Birkins in a litany of colors.
The rapper was equally generous when it came to accessorizing his guests. According to People, partygoers were gifted Chanel and Hermès handbags, and a game-show-style giveaway saw cash prizes starting at $10,000 and climbing to a staggering $1 million. Forget the usual birthday goodie bag, someone walked away with a flap bag and a Kelly.
The entertainment was a nostalgic affair. The Backstreet Boys took to the stage to perform their 1999 hit “I Want It That Way,” with Drake joining the group for a singalong. (It might seem a bit random, but Drizzy has previously performed with the group.) Amid all the festivities, the rapper also offered a sentimental toast. “Tonight is not about a tour or an album release or a bunch of videos that we shot or a fragrance or a Nike shoe,” he told his guests. “Tonight is just about being alive, staying alive.”
