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).
Representatives for the Toronto-born rapper confirmed that he’s ready to make amends by throwing 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.
Calling it “a formal apology to the Janices of Toronto,” Drake’s reps confirmed via email that physical invitations had been mailed to Janices across the city.
The email noted that if someone’s legal first name is Janice and they haven’t received an invitation, they can still RSVP by emailing [email protected].

Your path to entry? You need to have government-issued photo ID to prove that your legal first name is, in fact, Janice, the email confirmed. 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.
Representatives confirmed that the Toronto party will take place on Sunday, June 28, from 1-4 p.m. ET at the Cactus Club on Adelaide St.
