"I don't see this as cringe. It's his birthday party. He's enjoying himself, and everyone is having a good time," expressed one supporter.

Another voice chimed in, saying, "I don't see the issue? Turning 49 surrounded by people who want to celebrate and enjoy singing, rapping, dancing, and acting silly sounds fantastic. He seems to be having a blast! Good for him."
