Chapman, who was one of those DJing at the event posted an Instagram story detailing his ride up to the Obama mansion that saw him encounter various levels of security.

Once inside the party, he continued to detail the evening and posted pictures of specially created gold napkins emblazoned with 44X60 together with face masks and even cups which he quickly stashed into his laptop bag to take home.

On Instagram, he revealed how he did not know initially what the numbers meant – but had soon worked it out.

‘Amazing party @barackobama I couldn’t figure out what the 44×60 meant. It’s the 44th president 60th Bday,’ he wrote.

Chapman also posted pictures of some of the food being served at the celebration.
