Famous guests began to walk away from former President Barack Obama’s “scaled-down” Martha’s Vineyard birthday party, creating a “st spectacle” of traffic congestion on the resort island.
Singer John Legend, model wife Chrissy Teigen and rapper Takeoff were seen leaving the ex-president’s 29-acre seaside property in Oak Bluffs just before midnight by a Post photographer.
The legend was heard performing in front of the crowds on Saturday night, and the Migos MC is also said to have taken the elevated stage set up on the sprawling grounds.
Between two musical acts, a DJ was heard playing “Ain’t Nobody” by Chaka Khan, in honor of the 60-year-old man of the day.
A fleet of taxis were seen entering Obama’s residence to bring party staff home, and a handful of SUVs possibly containing stars were also seen exiting the shindig.
A local Massachusetts police officer could be heard describing the vehicle’s situation in the city of 4,500 as an “st broadcast” on his radio as the party began to wind down, according to the photographer.
The party’s original guest list of nearly 500, in addition to 200 staff, had been reduced earlier this week to just “close friends and family” after an outbreak of the Delta variant of COVID- 19 on Cape Cod, nearby.
The 11th Hour ruling – which led to the reported disclaimers of former adviser David Axelrod and comics David Letterman, Larry David and Conan O’Brien – follows a report from The Post, which cited a source as saying that the former president was creating a public health nightmare by trying to get 700 people to the island.
Still, there were plenty of stars in attendance with Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Steven Spielberg, Bradley Cooper, Don Cheadle, Erykah Badu, Steven Colbert and John Kerry pictured arriving for the party.
Other guests included Bruce Springsteen, Tom and Rita Hanks, Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union, Eddie Vedder and Questlove, which was scheduled to perform.
Earlier today, the stars turned heads in the sleepy enclave, as the Hanks were spotted browsing a bookstore near Edgartown, where Legend and Teigen were also seen doing shopping.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was spotted having lunch at the Winnetu Resort in Edgartown – where Spielberg was also seen taking selfies with fans – after she was reportedly not held up for the new simplified guest list.
The Democrat’s office did not immediately respond to the New York Post’s request to clarify why she was on Martha’s Vineyard.
