To say Drake went all-out to celebrate winning Artist of the Decade at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday (May 23) would be an understatement.
According to Variety, Drizzy rented out Inglewood’s entire 70,000 capacity SoFi Stadium for the night and hosted a dinner right on the 50-yard line. Star-studded guests in attendance reportedly included The Weeknd, Chris Brown, DJ Khaled, Doja Cat, SZA and many others, along with his son Adonis and close family and friends.
SoFi Stadium serves as the home of the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers after opening in September 2020.
E! reports Drake started his night at the Nice Guy restaurant in West Hollywood before heading to SoFi Stadium.
“He rented the entire stadium for the night,” a source said. “The stadium has a gigantic banner with his name and ‘Artist of the Decade.’ There are huge champagne towers and several bars set up throughout the stadium. Drake also has cute album books featuring his favorite moments through his career set up around the stadium.”
The 6 God also took to Instagram to share some photos from the occasion.
Drake gave a humble speech at the Billboard Music Awards on stage with his son, which marked their first public appearance together.
“I’m really self-conscious about my music, and even if I do a good job, I always wonder how I could have done it better,” he said. “I rarely celebrate anything. And just for anyone watching this that’s wondering how this happened, that’s really the answer: it’s being so unsure how you’re getting it done that you just kind of keep going in the hopes of figuring out the formula. Feeling so lucky and blessed that the fear of losing it keeps you up at night.”

He continued, “I didn’t really write a grandiose speech about how to make it work or what it took, ’cause to be really honest with you I don’t quite understand it myself. I just know I’ve spent an incalculable amount of hours tryna analyze all of the things I did wrong, but tonight, for once, I’m sure as hell we did something right.”
If Drake doesn’t celebrate much, he certainly made up for it by renting out an entire stadium for himself.
I dont know why milenials worship this cliown. He is no Pac. He is no Biggie. He is singing auto-tuned garbage pop rap. Any grown ass man who pays money for an album titled “certified lover boy” kill yourself.
Oh please stfu you sound like a troll or an angsty kid. I’m not even a Drake fan but he is one of the greats too
No hes not one of the greats. Hes a tampon disguised as a person. Always crying about stuff. This generation of losers are always upset about something or another bc theyre cowards and this clown represents that. That doesn’t make him great, just another weak ass whining millenial.
Exactly ! Just like he didnt do shit when TI’s homie stood up and pissed on the back of his head ! Drake just ran out crying like a bitch fuck the certified lover boy. If I had to choose a Canadian rapper who is a way better lyricist than Drake it would be Merkules. Hell even Tory Lanez is better than drake if you like singing Canadian rappers.
Could you imagine if Drake would have done his whiny bs in the 90s? They would’ve beat his effeminate ass.
It don’t matter what you say foo, Drake one of the greats. Even hip-hop legends recognize that. TF are you lol
um its less than 5 racks on the 350+ days theses billion dollars stadiums are empty
remember doing the ssame 30 years ago for a party and i was just a mid level d boy
Lmao so you don’t know cause 30 years ago smh clout chaser lls
Wasting money on this shit when 1/4 kids in America are food insecure. These are our heroes lol.
Yeah. He’s not from America. Canada is way better off with that shit. Think before typing.
He lives here in the US for a substantial part of the year. Hes made most of his money here in America. If you thought before typing, you would’ve realized this.
He doesn’t live in the US for any substantial part of the year. He literally raps and talks about how he lives and is based in Canada, and doesn’t need to be based in the US. Check your pathetic “facts” before you type.
People exaggerate and lie in their raps (check rick ross). He does live in la as well. Also his monet is mostly made here in the US. So yes instead of wasting his cash “ballin” he should donate it here.
IMAGINE SOMEONE WINNING PLAYER OF THE DECADE IN THE NBA WHILE JORDAN PLAYED . PROOF JAY Z AND NAS AREN’T GOATS . NOT YEAR BUT DECADE LOLLLLLLLL SMH
I agree this would never happen to Jordan
Nas only released 3 albums in the past decade. Jay only 2.
Neither of them has made music their full time focus in the past decade.
Drake’s greatest hits couldn’t sniff illmatic or the blueprint.
Take his dick out of your mouth.
Well said bro. Perfect response to ignorant kids
You do realize bad and Jayz have been rapping for almost three decades now . And all there music is timeless.
Clown shit….smh, this is yall hero…lame asf
YET JAY Z ROB’S LIVE NATION FOR 200 MILLION FOR A 10 YEAR CONTRACT IN 2017 . AND GETS ON BEYONCE’S CONCERTS TO REPAY THEM . 2 ALBUMS THE LAST 10 YEARS BECAUSE NOBODY LISTENING TO HIM OR NAS AND DRAKE IS PROOF
Live nation undercover owns roc nation sad but true let Jay not repay them
2 albums in the last 10 years because that’s all they need to to . They have said and done pretty much everything . Drake is no where near their level when it comes to experience and longevity. He will eventually get there and then he two will release 2 alums in 10 years .
Haters everywhere. Sorry Kendrick Lamar or Eminem didn’t win AOTD. Drake was the one with the most records broken, most hits ever and most streamed artist of all time. Dude is a walking Billboard chart. And yes, one of the greatest. So let the man celebrate how he wants.
No hes a whining, cry baby.
Niiiiice!! Congratulations Drake!! An award well deserved!!
Regardless to what many have to say a8out Drake & me myself dont 8ump Drake in my ride unless he’s featuring on a song w/ one of my favs – he is one of the coldest lyrscist in Hip Hop History…..& deserves to 8e recognized in such a grand way! You go Drake…I personally salute you for a jo8 well done!!! Congrats
Hypocrisy because he claims to care about so many causes but this is the type of things someone like Trump do to flaunt his money that would outrage people.
You can tell this idiot grew up with money, never struggled a day in his life. But this is yall hero. Damn shame.
Damn drake still ain’t got them peppers out his teeth??!?!!! Tfffffffffffff
Drake is fucking lame.
Just a couple of insignificant boys with irrelevant opinions of a successful man
Bro y’all still hating on Drake? You don’t even have to like the guy but in numbers he has done what many can never do. Also the people complaining about philanthropy as an excuse. Bruh your favorite rapper most like just used your home loan to buy another chain he doesn’t need and tossed a band in a strippers ass crack. Out here acting like Drake has to run the gates foundation
