Drake suited up to attend the 76th birthday dinner of his beloved mother Sandra ‘Sandi’ Gayle Graham at Italian restaurant Cucina Alba in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood on Sunday night.
The birthday girl wore large sunglasses, a fur stole, and toted an Hermès Birkin bag, which was created 1984 in honor of the late Jane Birkin and can cost anywhere between $5K-$500K.
It was a rare sighting of the 37-year-old hip-hop star with Sandi and his American musician father Dennis Graham, who’ve remained amicable despite divorcing in 1991 when he was just five years old.
Meanwhile, a bodyguard took the hand of Drake (born Aubrey Graham)’s five-year-old son Adonis Mahbed Graham, whom he welcomed with French painter Sophie Brussaux.
The five-time Grammy winner – who boasts 229.4M social media followers – shared an Instagram post captioned: ‘More & more & more & more life…76 like Joel things turned out so well I bet they wish it all took a turn for the worst but oh well.’

Drake – who later hit up members-only club Zero Bond – made Sandi smile as he serenaded her with his rendition of Whitney Houston’s 1992 hit I Have Nothing.
The Canadian crooner last honored Graham (born Sher) during his July 25th concert at Madison Square Garden when he serenaded her with his 2011 track Look What You’ve Done dedicated to their family.
The former English teacher has inspired numerous Drake songs including The Calm, Successful, S.T.R.E.S.S., Must Hate Money, Too Much, From Time, Two Birds, One Stone, and You & The 6.
Sandi raised the You Broke My Heart singer in the Jewish faith in Toronto where he helped support her with a childhood acting gig as basketball star Jimmy Brooks on Degrassi: The Next Generation between 2001-2009.
In 2022, Drake enlisted tattoo artist Noah A. Lee to ink Graham’s initials ‘SG’ under his left eye as a special tribute.
‘My mother made me truly appreciate women,’ the OVO Sound co-founder told Vibe back in 2011.
‘I obviously make sex-driven, darker, sexier music, but I try not to offend women in them. It’s not in my character. And my father was basically a reverse-role model for me. I’m dying to be a great dad one day, whenever that day comes. Other than that, it was hard just growing up with my mom and watching her fight for me to have a good childhood. It was tough to watch.’
Drake and J. Cole kick off their joint 32-date It’s All a Blur Tour – Big As the What? on February 2 at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, FL.
