Overview
- Drake posted an Instagram Story saying invites are going out to Janices in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Toronto and Houston, and Now Toronto, Complex and The Source report the Toronto event is set for Sunday, June 28 at Cactus Club from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
- Organizers say entry is limited strictly to people whose government‑issued ID lists Janice as their legal first name with no nicknames or middle‑name substitutions allowed.
- Details for the New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Houston gatherings are not public and are being distributed privately through direct invitations and exclusive RSVP links, according to several outlets.
- The parties are being presented as apologies tied to the viral reaction to Drake’s song “Janice STFU” from his Iceman trilogy, a track that has been certified platinum and has surpassed 100 million Spotify streams.
- The announcement has generated humor and criticism online, prompted debate over who ‘Janice’ might mean, and fits a pattern of Drake converting social‑media moments into theatrical promotional activations.
