When it’s Drake’s birthday, everyone gets a gift – apparently. To celebrate the music superstar’s 38th birthday, on Thursday, October 24, Drake has announced that he will be “hooking everyone up” with a free slider from participating Dave’s Hot Chicken outlets in Dubai, Doha and Riyadh.
For those new to the Dave’s Hot Chicken game, a ‘slider’ is a full size sandwich, which can be yours for free if you are willing to head to one of the region’s Dave’s Hot Chicken restaurants.

“We love that Drake is choosing to celebrate his birthday with Dave’s guests,” said Bill Phelps, Dave’s Hot Chicken CEO. “As this brand expands from coast-to-coast and abroad, it’s the authenticity of the food, founders, team members, and investors, like Drake, which ensure we continue to blow peoples’ minds.”

Here’s how you can redeem your free slider this week…
