President Obama will celebrate his 55th birthday with a huge all-night party Friday at the White House with stars including Beyoncé and Jay Z.
Multiple sources confirmed to Page Six that first lady Michelle Obama is throwing a top-secret bash for the president to celebrate his last birthday at the White House.
We’re told that a host of stars will attend, including Usher, who is expected to perform, as well as Obama’s favorite rapper Kendrick Lamar.
Others who have made the guest list include Ellen DeGeneres, Stevie Wonder, Anna Wintour, Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, Magic Johnson and Alonzo Mourning.
Politicos expected include Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, VP Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
A source told us, “All the preparations and the guest list are being kept top-secret. The plan is to throw a party for the president to really let his hair down. There will be performances and a dance party that will go late into the night. Social media will be banned.”
The president’s actual birthday is Thursday, Aug. 4.
The first family are then expected to head to Martha’s Vineyard for their annual vacation on Saturday.
The Obamas have thrown some near-legendary private bashes during their White House tenure for those lucky enough to make the guest list.
For Michelle’s epic all-night 50th birthday celebration in 2014, Beyoncé performed and sang hits including “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” in front of guests including Sir Paul McCartney and Wonder, before Legend serenaded the first lady with “Happy Birthday.”
