\n\tAll Drake<\/a> wanted for his 40th birthday was to be roasted by Jim Carrey,<\/a> but he got the Roastmaster General, Jeff Ross, instead. <\/p>\n

\n\tDrizzy spent the weekend celebrating his birthday in New York City, and he continued the party in Houston on Tuesday (Oct. 27), which included a surprise birthday roast courtesy of the New Jersey-bred comic. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDrake enjoying his surprise birthday roast in Houston tonight,\u201d Ross captioned a selfie with the 6 God in an Instagram Story Wednesday, which he soundtracked with ICEMAN\u2018s \u201cNational Treasures.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 6 God reposted the photo<\/a> with Ross to his own Instagram Story, calling him \u201cThe F\u2013king General.\u201d Clips from the roast king ribbing Drizzy haven\u2019t yet surfaced on social media.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn September, Ross was put on the other side of his signature roasts as Jim Carrey ripped the comedian for his 61st birthday. \u201cCanadian mountain man Jim Carrey sent me this for my birthday,\u201d Ross wrote. \u201cIt made me so happy I had to share it with roast fans everywhere! EVERYONE PLEASE KEEP ROASTING ME IN THE COMMENTS BELOW ! ROASTING IS LOVE !\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDrake saw the clip of Carrey jabbing Ross about how his mom had to sign an NDA when he was born because he was so ugly, and the rapper attempted to manifest having the legendary actor roast him for his own birthday.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWow this is now all I want for my birthday,\u201d Drizzy commented on IG at the time.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile he didn\u2019t get Carrey, Ross made sure that the OVO rapper was properly roasted to kick off his 40s.<\/p>\n

\n\tDrake\u2019s birthday celebration began in Toronto and continued throughout the weekend in NYC<\/a>. Drizzy rang in 40 with about 400 guests at Casa Cipriani in Manhattan, which included a surprise performance from the Backstreet Boys, as Drake joined the boy band<\/a> on stage for its 1999 smash \u201cI Want It That Way<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTonight isn\u2019t about a tour, an album release, or a bunch of videos we shot,\u201d Drake told the room. \u201cIt\u2019s about being alive, staying alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMany guests didn\u2019t leave empty-handed either, as designer gifts and cash prizes were raffled off.<\/p>\n

\n\tDrake has been busy throughout 2026, which included the release of his trifecta of albums in May. The 6 God made history as the first artist to occupy the top three slots of the Billboard 200<\/a> with ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR simultaneously holding the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 spots on the chart. <\/p>\n
