This weekend’s throwdown in Los Angeles, per TMZ, was an expectedly stacked affair. YG, Skip Bayless, Yella Beezy, and more have been confirmed to have joined Wayne in person to help ring in the prolific artist’s 40th birthday. Further amplifying the celebratory energy were special video messages shared by Drake, Nicki Minaj, and the artist formerly known as Kanye West.

Weezy’s most recent solo studio album is 2020’s Funeral. Potentially on the horizon, however, is the sixth installment in Tha Carter franchise, as well as another I Am Not a Human Being sequel.
