The Canadian rapper, who invested in the Los Angeles-headquartered restaurant chain in 2021, will sponsor the chain’s free chicken giveaway on Oct. 24 for the third year in a row. He’s not the only big name to have invested in Dave’s Hot Chicken, founded in 2017 along with the likes of Usher, Maria Shriver, Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Strahan.

“We are thrilled that Drake is choosing to celebrate his birthday with Dave’s guests,” said Bill Phelps, CEO of Dave’s Hot Chicken, in a press release. “As this brand expands from coast to coast and abroad, it’s about the authenticity of the food. Founders, team members and investors like Drake ensure we’ll continue to wow people.”
