The outlet also reported that the iconic ’90s boy band — made up of Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson — kept the party going with a nostalgic performance.

The “One Dance” hitmaker is said to have “spared no expense,” treating partygoers to lavish giveaways, including designer handbags from luxury brands like Chanel and Hermés.

He also reportedly turned the shindig into a game show, giving lucky guests the chance to win cash prizes ranging from tens of thousands of dollars to as much as $1 million, per TMZ.

He was dressed for the occasion, photographed arriving at the party in a tuxedo with a shimmering jacket.

Drake, born Aubrey Graham, is no stranger to the luxury lifestyle.

In August, the “God’s Plan” singer showed off his one-of-a-kind, diamond-encrusted Rolex Daytona on Instagram, calling the iced-out timepiece “the most important thing I have ever had the pleasure of owning.”

The custom design was created to celebrate the “the record breaking milestones of 2026,” Drake wrote in the caption, seemingly referencing his trio of album releases this year, including “Iceman.”

He even had the words “Freeze the World,” a lyric from his song “Make Them Know” off “Iceman,” engraved on the back of the watch in blue lettering — with the bespoke Rolex estimated to be worth as much as $5 million.

“Please do not get your local jeweler to recreate,” Drake urged his followers, adding, “This is a standalone and a part of history.”

Last year, the OVO founder gave fans a glimpse inside his $185 million private jet after it received a series of upgrades.

He showcased his Boeing 767 on Instagram in July 2025, revealing a bedroom complete with a king-size bed, a flatscreen TV and mirrored walls.

Drake also flaunted the main lounge, which featured faux-fur seats adorned with custom pillows and a gambling table, alongside a movie screening area and three additional bedrooms for guests looking to “duck off.”
