...and we can't stop looking at the surreal pictures

Remember when you were 13, and your parents threw a party for you that included booking a world-famous star to perform raunchy chart-toppers for your 13-year-old mates? Yeah, no, that didn't happen to us either.

But for one extremely lucky boy in New York, it did. Matt's bar mitzvah was a red-carpeted spectacular including a show from none other than Nicki Minaj. No wonder those boys look so happy.

If you're wondering if your eyes deceive you - no, that really is a 'Matt'-branded backdrop for the photographs ('established 2002'). And there's even a very endearing photo of Minaj meeting Matt's mum and dad.

If any of Matt's friends didn't make it to the celebration, we imagine they're rather gutted now. Let that be a lesson to those of us who bitterly scrolled through Coachella photos on Instagram: there's always someone suffering worse FOMO than you.
