Drake threw a second party for his 40th birthday on Saturday at Delilah in New York, and Travis Scott, Jack Harlow and Alix Earle arrived, according to reports published Sunday. The night followed a Friday party at Casa Cipriani where the Backstreet Boys performed.
Delilah Hosts Night Two Of Drake’s 40th Birthday Weekend
TMZ reported at 8:50 AM Pacific on Sunday that Drake’s 40th birthday party continued at Delilah NYC, which the outlet calls a swanky celebrity supper club. TMZ named Alix Earle, Travis Scott, Landon Barker, Jack Harlow, and the couple Adam22 and Lena the Plug among the guests. Barker arrived with his girlfriend, Ashtin Earle, who is Alix’s sister, per TMZ.
Just Jared published a fuller arrival list at 14:29 UTC on Sunday. It adds Loe Shimmy and Giggs to the names above and says Drake took the stage with Popcaan, a detail the outlet attributes to Vogue. Just Jared stresses that its list covers arrivals and does not account for everyone in the room.
TMZ did not name any performers at the Delilah event. That leaves the Popcaan detail resting on Vogue’s account as relayed by Just Jared, and readers should treat it as a secondhand report until Vogue’s own coverage or video confirms it.
Drake’s Look For The Night Draws Different Descriptions
Outlets disagree on what Drake wore. TMZ describes a cheetah-print jacket over a white button-down shirt. Just Jared describes an animal-print Chrome Hearts jacket over a white shirt, with red leather pants and dark boots. Comic Basics, which published Sunday evening, points to a video of Drake in a white shirt and red pants with a gray parrot perched on his arm, and labels the look Captain Jack Sparrow style.
Comic Basics acknowledges the two descriptions of his outfit and does not reconcile them. The simplest reading is that Drake changed looks or wore layers during the night, but no outlet says so. The same article quotes an attendee who said another party was planned for Saturday night. It does not clarify whether that refers to a separate event or to Delilah itself. None of these reports include a statement from Drake or his team about the guests, the outfit or the parrot.
Night One At Casa Cipriani Set The Bar
The Delilah party came one night after a larger event. Baller Alert, citing TMZ, reported at 15:38 UTC on Saturday that Drake celebrated at Casa Cipriani in New York with more than 400 guests. The Backstreet Boys surprised him with a performance, and Drake joined them onstage for “I Want It That Way.” Baller Alert says Drake has described the song as tied to one of his earliest memories of feeling accepted.
Just Jared dates that party to Friday, October 23. It reports that guests could win designer handbags from Chanel and Hermès, and that a game show offered cash prizes up to $1 million, a figure Just Jared attributes to People. Comic Basics adds that Drake received a red Ferrari outside the venue.
The reports disagree on the order of Drake’s travel. Baller Alert places a Toronto gathering at the CN Tower earlier in the week, followed by a flight to New York on his customized Boeing 767 with his mother and a Thursday dinner at Mamo in SoHo. Comic Basics says he started his birthday in Toronto on Saturday, October 24, before flying to New York. That version conflicts with a Friday party in Manhattan, so the Baller Alert sequence fits the other dates better.
The Business Of A Drake Birthday And What Comes Next
Drake’s birthdays double as brand showcases. This year’s guest bags and cash giveaways put luxury names in front of hundreds of attendees, and the Chrome Hearts jacket drew attention in photos. Baller Alert notes that earlier Drake birthdays have produced their own headlines, including a 2023 party where actors Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul unexpectedly worked behind the bar.
The guest list also connects to other stories. Adam22 and Lena the Plug used the Delilah party as the backdrop for their reunion, per TMZ. Alix Earle and Landon Barker, who arrived with Alix’s sister, carry social media followings that spread party photos fast. Travis Scott and Jack Harlow add a hip-hop presence next to the influencer crowd.
Watch for official photos from Drake’s team, any video of Popcaan on stage, and clarification of the parrot costume. If the attendee’s claim about another Saturday event holds up, more guest sightings could follow in Monday’s coverage. As of Sunday evening, Drake had not commented on any of the reports.
