## One wish, no price tag
Drake turns 40 on Oct. 24, and the OVO boss says he only wants one thing this year. It costs nothing to buy.
## The Jeffrey Ross clip
Comedian Jeffrey Ross posted a video on Sept. 13 of Jim Carrey roasting him for his 61st birthday. Ross called it the best gift he got.

> Canadian mountain man Jim Carrey sent me this for my birthday
## Carrey went for the throat
In the clip, Carrey joked that Ross was so ugly at birth his mom had to sign an NDA. Ross begged fans to keep roasting him in the comments.

> ROASTING IS LOVE !
## Drake slid into the comments
Money and famous friends mean Drake can buy whatever he wants, so the ask landed as a joke with real want behind it.

> Wow this is now all I want for my birthday
## No 40th plans yet
Drake has stayed quiet on how he is marking the milestone. Last year he spent his 39th in the Bahamas.
## FOMO lands first
Before his 30s run out, Drake premieres a "not so short" film called FOMO on a YouTube livestream Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET. It caps a year where ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR took the top three Billboard 200 slots at once.
## Key takeaway

Drake turns 40 on Oct. 24 and says all he wants is Jim Carrey roasting him, after seeing Carrey do it for Jeffrey Ross.
