Nobody Throws Dinner Parties Like Drake
What do you do when you win the Artist of the Decade honor at the Billboard Music Awards? Throw yourself a lavish dinner in a 70,000-capacity stadium of course.
When Drake celebrates something he usually does it big. On Sunday, the rapper rented out the new SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, where he hosted an "intimate" dinner on the 50-yard line.
Variety reports that The Weeknd, SZA, DJ Khaled, and Doja Cat were some of the guests invited to dine with Drake in the otherwise empty 70,000-seat stadium.
According to sources, the dinner featured huge champagne towers and several bars set up throughout the stadium as well as a banner hanging high in the rafters reading "Congratulations Drake, Artist of the Decade." Drake also had album books featuring his favorite moments through his career set up around the stadium.
It's a lavish celebration befitting the Champagne Papi, but it's not everyday that the artist goes all-out for his wins. For one of the most awarded artists of all time, the Artist of the Decade honor stands out. In his Billboard speech he explained, "I rarely ever celebrate anything. And just for anyone watching this wondering how this happened, that's really the answer. It's being so unsure how you're getting it done that you just kinda keep going in the hopes of figuring out the formula."
