A diehard Drake fan has turned to creative measures in an attempt to grab the rapper's attention to invite him to her sweet 16th birthday bash. "Drake, you're invited to my Sweet 16. Your biggest fan, Miya," the 15-year-old wrote on the huge billboard invitation displayed above a Texas highway, along with the details of the party in December. "I love his music. … I love his style," Miya told Fox 26 Houston. "He’s really inspiring. I brought it up to my mom. I was like, ‘I want him to be a part of my big day and my sweet 16'.” It comes after the 37-year-old star revealed he bought a home in Houston during the second night of his It's All a Blur tour.

So, y'all gon' be seeing me around." It appears as though the 'Hotline Bling' rapper purchased an entire ranch in Texas, according to a video he shared last month. "Me and my partna’ we done gone country on y'all mane," he's heard saying in the clip using a fake country accent. "We said we was going to do it for a lot of years—we doing it today. The sale is made." He went on to hint that the property came with 10 horses. "People need a nice place for their horse to stay," he added.
