The reality TV star and Idols SA judge took to his Instagram timeline to share snaps from his elegant dinner with friends and family celebrating his half century milestone.
He posted pictures from his #SomiziGoldenJubileee celebrations.
His guests honoured the formal black-themed party to a T.
In a separate Instagram post Somizi showed off his luxurious birthday gifts from his loved ones, setting the tone for the celebrations ahead.
He shared that he was not one for speeches and wanted his guests to eat and be merry.
On Instagram he shared with followers the boxes he wants ticked: "I'm sending invites for my birthday via video. I explained the theme, the time, the venue and all of that, but I also explain at the end that just come and eat and drink and mingle. No speeches.
"I've always told my friends, they know I hate speeches. I loathe speeches. I despise speeches. Am I weird? Whether it's my wedding, birthday or funeral, preferably no one speaks. I believe in giving the speeches every day. Don't wait for a special occasion. Call me. Text me every day, speak to me every day, not on a special occasion. No, thank you."
