Drake wants to make things right.<\/p>\n

The rapper, known for his generous deeds (he gave away thousands to underserved Miami folks<\/a> back in 2018) is reaching out to all women who have the same name as the title of his newly dropped song.<\/p>\n

Drake obviously realizes that the NSFW track \u201cJanice STFU,\u201d off his new album \u201cIceman,\u201d isn\u2019t exactly a romantic ballad. There\u2019s been backlash since the drop, including plenty of memes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s why the music superstar is hosting an invite-only event at Forte dei Marmi in SoFi Sunday, to make sure you know there are no hard feelings.<\/p>\n

The five-time Grammy winner, 39, is also hosting simultaneous gatherings or the Janices of his native Toronto, as well as New York, Houston and Los Angeles. A representative told the Miami Herald the hip-hopper hasn\u2019t divulged which venue he\u2019ll physically show up to yet; that\u2019s a surprise.<\/p>\n

Whether the \u201cTake Care\u201d singer is there or not, attendees are guaranteed a \u201cone of a kind\u201d bonding experience with people who share your name, the rep adds.<\/p>\n

Physical invitations have reportedly been mailed out to a ton of ladies, whose legal first name must be Janice on their birth certificates, passports or driver\u2019s licenses.<\/p>\n

So who is the subject matter, exactly? According to record-keeping site NameCensus.com<\/a>, the name Janice (English origin, meaning \u201cGod is gracious\u201d) is not that common. There are only about 234,000 Americans walking around with Janice as their moniker. We can only think of one celebrity off the top of our heads \u2014 original supermodel Janice Dickinson \u2014 as well as two major TV characters, Chandler\u2019s love interest on \u201cFriends\u201d and Tony\u2019s sister on \u201cThe Sopranos.\u201d<\/p>\n

The average person named Janice today is around age 69, the site adds; the single highest number of births being 1951, with 15,982 babies.<\/p>\n

The burning question remains: What is Drake\u2019s beef with Janice, and why does he want her to STFU?<\/p>\n

Analysts over at gossip website Just Jared speculate<\/a> that like \u201cKaren,\u201d Janice is not a real person but a metaphor for his critics and \u201cendless online commentary.\u201d<\/p>\n

If your invite got lost in the mail, you can still RSVP to the party, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at Forte dei Marmei, 150 Ocean Dr., Miami Beach, by emailing JSTFU@DRAKERELATED.COM. Government-issued ID is required for all entry.<\/p>\n
