Today, October 24, 2025, marks a pair of distinct but equally compelling celebrity moments — one a bold brand-move, the other a deeply personal reflection.
Drake’s Birthday Becomes a Free Slider Event
The multi-platinum artist Drake turns 39 today, and his birthday celebration takes the form of a free-food promotion. His fast-casual restaurant investment, Dave’s Hot Chicken, will be giving away a free chicken slider at its U.S. locations on October 23 (the day before his birthday) from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. local time. The offer requires downloading the brand’s app, and is valid in-store only (no online or delivery orders).
Drake became an investor in Dave’s Hot Chicken in 2021, after sampling the food and meeting its founders. This promotion turns what might normally be a private birthday into a public marketing event — inviting fans, building brand awareness, and leveraging a personal milestone into consumer engagement.
Adrienne Bailon-Houghton Celebrates Birthday with New Chapter in Motherhood & Advocacy
Adrienne Bailon-Houghton turns a year older today, and her birthday comes as she embraces new roles both personally and professionally. In a recent interview, she reflected on being a Latina creator and how motherhood has reshaped her career, including a new collaboration with Life Cereal that highlights the real, messy mornings of parenting.
This year also brought a major health revelation. After undergoing IVF for six years, Bailon-Houghton shared that ending the treatments triggered early menopause — a topic she’s now openly addressing to support other women facing the same challenge.
As she celebrates her birthday, Bailon-Houghton is using her platform not just for festivities, but to spark honest conversations about fertility, family, and life changes many women navigate quietly.
