Drake’s 40th birthday gets personal with a special onstage moment alongside his dad

Drake’s 40th birthday celebration delivered plenty of luxury, surprise performances and celebrity guests, but one of the night’s most memorable moments came when the Canadian rapper took the stage alongside his father, Dennis Graham. The milestone celebration brought Drake together with family and friends in New York City, where the rapper marked his birthday with an extravagant party featuring lavish gifts, cash prizes and a performance by the Backstreet Boys. Sharing the spotlight with his dad added a personal touch to an evening otherwise defined by high-end entertainment. Drake turned 40 on Saturday, Oct. 24, and began the festivities Friday night at Casa Cipriani in Manhattan. An attendee told PEOPLE that the event was “so elegant, over the top and expensive,” describing a lavishly decorated venue and a guest list of approximately 400 people.
