Abby MarquezYesterday we told you about Leah, the 6-year-old who convinced her mom, Alexis Gomez, to throw her a Drake-themed birthday party. After being written up by many outlets, including yours truly, and going viral, Drake himself finally noticed the hype. Could this be the best birthday party in all existence? A few hours ago, Complex Instagrammed the story on their account. By the grace of the party Gods, the man himself happened to see it. Drake responded, "OVO 12's for her ASAP." If you know anything about shoes, that's just about the best gift you could get from your favorite artist. In case you're wondering what that comment meant, OVO 12's are Drakes specially designed Air Jordan's. It's kind of a big deal. A tweet from Leah's mom's BFF, Abby Marquez, has gone from 18,000 likes to over 25,000. It's been RT'd more than 15,000 times, up from yesterday's 11,000.
Her simple tweet of four pictures started it all. Too cool.
The Drake-blessed post sparked a mass of very jealous fans in the comments section. "Me too please!!," one wrote. "What about me I went to your shows in van back to back and seen you 8 timess," commented another. The thirst is real, people.
Leah wore a "Turn my birthday into a lifestyle" shirt, gold chain, and even had an OVO owl cake. Did we forget to mention her tables were decorated with money and "Worst Behavior" posters? They honestly thought of everything.
As of right now, friend Abby Marquez tells E! via Twitter that they have not yet heard when they will receive the highly coveted shoes. We're sure Drake wouldn't leave Leah hanging, though!
The next time you find yourself involved in planning a birthday party, whether it be your own kid, a family member's, or a friend's (or let's be real, even your own), consider tossing out the old Snow White balloons and trading them in for some Drake ones instead. Especially if you're in the mood to possibly score some free shoes.
