If your name is Janice and you feel personally victimized by Drake’s song Janice STFU, you’re in luck (provided you can show government-issued ID).
Rumour has it, the Toronto-born rapper is ready to make amends with all Janices by throwing them an exclusive Janices-only apology party.
“All my Janice’s in NY, LA, MIA, TO, HOU, look out for my invitation for Sunday,” he wrote on his Instagram story, referring to New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Toronto and Houston.
Under the text on the video is a stack of letters, seemingly all addressed to people named Janice.
Your path to entry? Multiple outlets are reporting that you need to have ID to prove that your first name is, in fact, Janice. And that’s reportedly first names only — no nicknames, middle names or last names.
It all stems from Drake’s hit single, Janice STFU, from his album ICEMAN.
The song debuted at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The track, his 14th chart-topper, officially broke Drake’s tie with Michael Jackson, giving him the record for the most No. 1 hits by a male solo artist.
It was part of a massive, surprise triple-album drop that included ICEMAN, Habibti, and Maid of Honour. In total, 42 songs from the release charted on the Hot 100, with Maid of Honour and Habibti also debuting at the top of the Billboard Global 200.
Multiple media outlets have reported that the Toronto party will take place on the afternoon of Sunday, June 28, at the Cactus Club.
CBC News has reached out to a representative for Drake, but has not heard back. A Cactus Club representative declined to comment.
