Drake sure knows how to throw a party!

The famous rapper known for huge hits including "Take Care" and "Hold On We're Going Home" celebrated his 27th birthday in style with a major bash at New York's newest hot spot Tokya.

Around 200 friends, including fellow rapper Busta Rhymes and New York Giants football star Victor Cruz, were in attendance to enjoy Drake's big night out.

According to a source, Drake wasn't flirting with any of his female guests during the party. 

Instead, the rapper chose to enjoy the night near a private table with champagne, music from DJ Spade and close friends.

The birthday bash comes right in the middle of Drake's arena tour. The Canadian star is traveling across the country in support of his new album, Nothing Was the Same.

With Miguel and Future serving as openers, the tour has grabbed plenty of fans' attention including Today show's Al Roker.

The famous weatherman's hilarious Vine video from Drake's Connecticut show went viral earlier this week. While Roker's daughters loved every minute of the show, Roker claimed he was "too old" to enjoy the night.

It's safe to say someone made a smart choice in missing this birthday bash. Happy Birthday, Drake!
