Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on September 21, 1984)

Happy Birthday to Wale, the lyrical genius who taught us how to groove with "Dig Dug (Shake It)." Years after you schooled us on rhythm, we're still out here trying our best moves—though admittedly not as smooth. Your debut album "Attention Deficit" gave the world hits like "Pretty Girls," and trust me, parties haven't been quite the same since.

As you celebrate today, recall your milestones: from groundbreaking albums to endless creativity that's accumulated loyal fans worldwide. Here's hoping your birthday is full of more cheer than a concert crowd—and that any dancefloor-induced soreness tomorrow serves as proof that you're forever young!
