Leonardo
DiCaprio is
getting
some
flack
for
his
rap
renditions
during
his
birthday
party,
which
was
caught
on
video.
On
Saturday
(November
11),
actor
Leonardo
DiCaprio
celebrated
his
49th
birthday
with
a
grand
party
at
a
private
home
in
Hollywood.
According
to
a
video
from
that
evening
that
was
leaked,
DiCaprio
was
in
the
zone
enough
where
he
was
rapping
bars
from
Gang
Starr
and
Nice
and
Smooth’s
1994
hit
“DWYCK”
excitedly
before
the
crowd.
TMZ
obtained
the
footage
of
DiCaprio
leading
the
crowd
in
the
song.
An
unnamed
source
who
attended
the
gala
added
more
detail
about
that
moment.
“At
one
point
everyone
was
singing
classic
hip
hop,”
they
said,
noting
that
they
also
lifted
DiCaprio
up
and
“carried
[him]
around
the
room.” A
Reddit
user
uploaded
the
video
to
the
platform,
which
elicited
reactions
where
they
thought
the
situation
was
cringe-worthy.
One
user
wrote,
“I
can’t
bring
myself
to
turn
on
the
sound
button
omg,”
while
another
compared
it
to
the
interaction
Justin
Timberlake
had
with
Ginuwine
that
Britney
Spears
described
in
her
The
Woman
In
Me
memoir.
Others
were
more
accepting
and
defended
the
Academy
Award
winner,
with
one
online
commenter
stating
simply,
“I
don’t
find
this
cringe.
It’s
his
birthday
party.
He’s
having
fun
and
everyone
is
enjoying
themselves,”.
Another
wrote,
“I’m
not
a
fan
of
him
but
I
see
nothing
wrong
with
this
video.
He’s
just
having
fun.”
Leonardo
DiCaprio
has
been
known
to
be
a
longtime
Hip-Hop
fan,
counting
the
RZA
among
his
friends.
Lil
Wayne
was
a
guest
at
the
event
and
performed
for
the
crowd.
Beyonce
and
her
husband,
Jay-Z
were
also
in
attendance
along
with
Kim
Kardashian,
Chris
Rock,
Salma
Hayek,
Lady
Gaga,
and
Kate
Beckinsale.
His
girlfriend,
Vittoria
Ceretti,
was
also
there
and
enjoying
DiCaprio’s
company.
The
party
was
lively
enough
that
sources
state
that
everything
came
to
a
close
at
4
A.M.
