Drake‘s 2024 has been defined by his beef with Kendrick Lamar, but he found himself in a different kind of battle at his recent birthday party.
While celebrating his 38th birthday with a 2000s-themed bash at Houston’s Escape nightclub, the 6 God faced off against Omarion in an impromptu dance-off.

The You Got Served star was performing hits from his back catalog and busting a move when he tagged in Drizzy, who proceeded to pull out some moves of his own.
The former collaborators then went back and forth for several moments before Drake joked: “I would dance battle the fuck out [of you].”
Drake and Omarion also teamed up to perform “Bria’s Interlude” from the former’s 2009 mixtape So Far Gone.
After the duet, the Toronto native paid tribute to the R&B singer, saying: “This is one of the first people that ever supported me in my career. Shout out to O. Humble beginnings. Thank you for trusting in us, believing in us, and being here.”
Omarion recriprocated the love, writing on X (formerly Twitter): “Since 2009 I been ‘So far gone’ a genuine moment. Flew to Houston for the birthday vibes. @Drake [Scorpio] season is a reason! #ScorpioSeason HBD Luv.”

Another highlight from Drake’s birthday party was him explaining the origin of his brief feud with Ludacris while the Atlanta legend’s hit “Pimpin All Over the World” played on the speakers.

“I use to beef with Ludacris because he dated my first girlfriend, swear to God. I used to have beef with Ludacris,” he said to attendees while laughing. “Shoutout to Ludacris, though.”
Drizzy also used his special day to send a defiant message to his doubters following his perceived defeat to Kendrick Lamar in their heated feud.
“They pictured me dead but that was just imagination. one more year pon dem,” he wrote on Instagram.
Drake’s extensive birthday celebrations began with his parents as he was seen enjoying a drink with Dennis and Sandra Graham while being presented with a giant “1986” sparkling birthday cake — a nod to the year he was born.

Another video captured the scenes at a Houston strip club where the birthday boy seemingly made it rain — to the tune of over $50,000.
