New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft turned 80 over the weekend, and received a pretty great birthday gift from some of his high-profile friends.
Kraft received a special drop top blue Bentley from rappers Meek Mill, Jay-Z, Philadelphia 76ers owner Michael Rubin and others.
Meek Mill shared the video of their surprise on his Instagram on Monday morning, which showed Rubin walking Kraft out of his home to find the car waiting for him.
The car is apparently one that Kraft has wanted for quite some time now, but as Rubin said, was something he’d never buy himself.
Kraft’s relationship with Meek Mill started through Rubin, and grew as he worked to get the rapper freed from prison in 2018. The duo, along with Jay-Z and others, helped launch the Reform Alliance — a group working toward police and prison reform around the country.
While the friend group can appear unusual or unlikely on the surface, it’s clear that they are as close as ever before — and are willing to pull out all the stops to come up with a tremendous birthday surprise.
