Baby Olivia Kendall is all grown up and no longer a Cosby kid! Raven-Symoné turned 30 on Thursday, and she and her multicolored hair (let's not forget the glitter eyebrows) celebrated adorably with her The View cohosts. Whoopi Goldberg, Paula Faris, Michlle Collins, Candace Cameron Bure and Joy Behar came together, along with a gumball Candy Crush cake, to wish the often-controversial actress a very happy 30th birthday.

They were not the only one excited to celebrate Raven-Symoné's birthday. The outspoken host's best friend Jussie Smollett passed through to offer hugs and birthday wishes. You may remember that the two had an adorable love child (maybe) on Empire, where Raven-Symoné played Smollett's wayward potential baby mama during the first season. The role was short-lived, but the friendship clearly wasn't, as the two were all smiles as they embraced on Thursday's show.

If bestie love wasn't enough, Bravo executive and host Andy Cohen stopped by to celebrate, and the actress was able to participate in the jam session of her dreams when '90s R&B group SWV surprised her onstage. Raven-Symoné jumped and danced around the stage as the popular group performed their hit "I'm So Into You." They then went into "Ain't No Man" and ended with "Weak." From the huge smile on Raven-Symoné's face, this gift was a memorable one for her.

So let's see...bestie lovin', a surprise mini-concert by one of the hottest girl groups of the 1990s...could this birthday get any better for the former The Cheetah Girls star?

Apparently so, as a special message from a music legend had Raven-Symoné over the moon. Janet Jackson, who'd had a gift basket (that included VIP Unbreakable tour tickets) sent to The View set for the actress, also delivered a sweet digital message to the birthday girl: "Wishing you an abundance of love, light and happiness on this special day! Can't wait to see you Raven-Symoné. #Unbreakable." Raven-Symoné Instagrammed the post along with a thank you note to all who made her birthday a special one. See her message below, as well as SWV's performance.
