Kanye West celebrated John Monopoly’s birthday in a big way.
The Donda rapper gifted his longtime manager a new Tesla Cybertruck. Clips posted to Monopoly’s Instagram Story show him holding up a keycard and saying, “He gave me a car,” referring to Ye. West corrected him, saying, “It’s not a car, it's a truck.”
“This dude right here’s trying to make me cry,” Monopoly says later in the clip. "I’m not finna cry this time.”
A second video shows the pair hugging and Ye cracking a joke.
Per the Tesla site, Cybertrucks retail from $60,990 to $99,990 depending on the model.
According to TMZ, also in attendance at the private dinner at Giorgio Baldi’s in Beverly Hills were Bianca Censori, Ty Dolla Sign, and John’s girlfriend Miatta Johnson, among others. Yeezy and Monopoly have been working together since the College Dropout days.
In addition to Monopoly’s birthday, Ye was also supposed to be celebrating the release of Vultures 2 on Friday. At least that’s what the official Yeezy site promised this week, when, on Wednesday, a message appeared that read, "All orders fulfilled. Vultures 2 coming Aug. 2."
Alas, the album hasn’t yet arrived. Vultures 1 dropped on Feb. 10 and was slated to be followed by a second album on March 8, and the third and final record on April 5.
