If your name is Janice and you feel targeted by Drake’s track Janice STFU, you’re in luck (as long as you can provide a government-issued ID).
The representatives for the Toronto-born artist have announced that he is planning to host a special apology party exclusively for individuals named Janice.
“All my Janice’s in NY, LA, MIA, TO, HOU, keep an eye out for my invitation for Sunday,” he shared on his Instagram story, referring to New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Toronto, and Houston.
Beneath the video, there is a pile of envelopes, apparently addressed to those named Janice.
Labeling it “a formal apology to the Janices of Toronto,” Drake’s representatives confirmed through email that physical invitations had been sent out to Janices throughout the city.
The email indicated that if someone’s legal first name is Janice and they have not received an invitation, they can still RSVP by reaching out to JSTFU@DRAKERELATED.COM.

To gain entry, attendees must present government-issued photo identification to verify that their legal first name is Janice, according to the email. Only first names are accepted — no nicknames, middle names, or surnames.
This event is a response to Drake’s popular single, Janice STFU, from his album ICEMAN.
The song made its debut at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts. This track marks his 14th chart-topping hit, officially breaking his tie with Michael Jackson for the most No. 1 hits by a male solo performer.
This release was part of a remarkable surprise triple-album launch that included ICEMAN, Habibti, and Maid of Honour. In total, 42 songs from this release appeared on the Hot 100, with Maid of Honour and Habibti also debuting at the top of the Billboard Global 200.
Representatives confirmed that the Toronto event will be held on Sunday, June 28, from 1-4 p.m. ET at the Cactus Club located on Adelaide St.
