[Drake and Rihanna](https://time.com/5424937/drake-on-rihanna/ "undefined") really got down to work at the rapper’s birthday party on Monday night at a Los Angeles nightclub, [according to E! News](https://www.eonline.com/news/1085372/here-s-what-happened-when-rihanna-and-drake-reunited-at-his-birthday-party "undefined"). Lyrica Anderson of _Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood_ [documented the fabulous evening on her Instagram stories](http://www.mtv.com/news/3143338/rihanna-drake-birthday-mcdonalds/ "undefined"), revealing not only a night of celebrations ahead of the Canadian Grammy winner’s 33rd birthday, but something even more delicious: McDonald’s. “When Drake brings McDonald’s to the club,” Anderson said in her Instagram Story, along with a picture of multiple six piece Chicken McNuggets packs: the late-night snack of champions. It’s no surprise that [Rihanna](https://time.com/5706059/rihanna-take-a-bow-meme/ "undefined") danced the night away at Drake’s party. The two artists have been friends for years. “She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22-years-old,” Drake said of Rihanna at the [2016 MTV Video Music Awards](https://time.com/4470045/vmas-2016-mtv-red-carpet/ "undefined"). “She’s one of my best friends in the world. All my adult life, I’ve looked up to her, even though she’s younger than me.” Well, one thing is clear: the friendship between these two powerhouses behind “Work,” “What’s My Name?” and “Take Care,” among others, marches on, and the fast-food chain’s chicken nuggets are there to help. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5708355/rihanna-mcdonalds-drake-birthday-club/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5708355/rihanna-mcdonalds-drake-birthday-club/"},"headline":"Connoisseur of Life Itself Rihanna Enjoyed McDonald's at the Club for Drake's Birthday","datePublished":"2019-10-23T15:36:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:00:59.226Z","description":"For Drake's birthday, obviously","url":"https://time.com/5708355/rihanna-mcdonalds-drake-birthday-club/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","viral","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6fa14e13e3bed5f2/698a04c2096a9402896a72ba/drake-rihanna-mcdonalds.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rachel E.
