Drake, DJ Khaled, and Fat Joe gathered for a lavish dinner at what appears to be Khaled’s home in Miami.

The DJ and producer shared a number of photos and video from the recent night, showing the bountiful feast that his private chef, Melissa Zuniga, had whipped up for the dinner, which was attended by Drake, Joe, and various others.

In one video, Khaled asks, “Chef Melissa what do we have for dinner tonight?” As Drake can be seen laughing at Khaled’s grandiosity, Melissa explains the menu, which included king crab, curry goat, homemade beef patties, calamari, polenta, a leg of lamb, and more.

In another image from the night, which features Drake and Joe looking at Khaled’s phone, the host writes that he, “Just showed my brothers my #WETHEBEST @jumpman23 releases And showed my brothers 1st round of samples.”

Fat Joe also posted a video of Drake saying that sitting with “Joe Crack and DJ Khaled” is one of “the most legendary nights of my life,” before joking about Joe’s recently coined phrase “yesterday’s price is not today’s price.”

The dinner comes after the success of Drake’s latest album Certified Lover Boy, which spent its second straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200—and after Fat Joe and Ja Rule’s Verzuz. In fact, following the Verzuz, Joe compared Ja to Drake.

“With no disrespect to your hip-hop roots, you’re a pop star,” Joe told Ja Rule during an Instagram Live session. “I always tell everybody you was the Drake before the Drake. You had hit after hit after hit after hit.”

“He’s the GOAT, we not going there,” Joe continued. “But what I’m saying is for the youth who’s tuned in, they don’t realize that this guy Ja Rule had a run like Drake for years. Just hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit.”
