Drake made a surprise appearance at a bat mitzvah in New York City this weekend.
The popular Canadian Jewish rapper sang and danced with the unnamed girl on Saturday night at the Rainbow Room in Manhattan, according to Stereogum. Several videos of the performance were posted on social media.
Drake performed several songs, including Back to Back and Summer Sixteen from his upcoming album Views from the Six and his portion of a remix of Fetty Wap’s My Way. He invited the bat mitzvah to sing with him on his hit Hotline Bling.

In 2011, Drake a.k.a. Drizzy charged $250,000 (US) to perform at the bar mitzvah of the son of Jeff Zucker, then the president of NBC Universal.
The rapper is the son of a Jewish-Canadian mother and an African-American father. He attended a Jewish day school in Toronto and had a bar mitzvah. He spoofed his own bar mitzvah on a Saturday Night Live episode two years ago.
