Drake has been invited to be the guest of honor at a Houston teenager’s birthday party, and the young fan took a big step to try to get the 6 God to be her Sweet 16 God.
Fox 26 Houston is reporting that the devoted fan, one Miya Garcia, took out a billboard on the I-10 highway inviting the Scorpion rapper to her upcoming party in Corpus Christi. It reads, “Drake, you’re invited to my Sweet Sixteen,” and it’s signed, “You biggest fan, Miya.” The billboard has gone viral on social media.
“I love his music,” Garcia told Fox 26 about Drizzy. “I love his style. He’s really inspiring.” She also revealed that her mother gave her the money to rent the billboard.
So far, the teen hasn’t gotten a response from Drake, though she’s certainly gotten a bit of local notoriety for her stunt. Check out a news clip featuring the billboard below.

Meanwhile, to celebrate his own birthday this month, Drake announced that he’ll be giving away free hot chicken sandwiches in partnership with Dave’s Hot Chicken on October 24.
The announcement came on Wednesday (October 18).
As the Toronto native turns 37, restaurant locations across the world will hand out a free crispy chicken slider or tender to those who download the fast food chain’s app on their phones.
In 2021, Dave’ Hot Chicken co-founder told Eater Los Angeles that the rapper and singer had bought into the business. The superstar first connected with the restaurant when he wanted them to cater a party he threw to celebrate being crowned Billboard‘s Artist of the Decade. Things proceeded from there.
“He has a large stake,” Arman Oganesyan said of Drizzy. “As far as investors go, he has a very good stake.”
“[W]hat we really want to do is just bring cool experiences to his fans and our customers,” Oganesyan continued. “That’s the real main goal of the partnership.”
