Drake gave US$10,000 ($17,310) to a female fan who won a lookalike competition. The God’s Plan hitmaker got in touch with Casuals Cakery in his hometown of Toronto after learning they were staging a doppelganger contest in his honour and generously pledged to donate the “main prize” for
the challenge. The bakery shared a screenshot of DM from Drake, in which he wrote: “I’m adding 10 bands to the lookalike contest. For the main prize.”
The company responded: “Just give me a min to stop hyperventilating this moment. I can’t believe this is ur account and u know about this omg i love you [sic].”
They captioned the post: “I can barely type and a whole shock went through my body. But yes this is true and real, I hope the Drake doppelgangers [are] ready, LETSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOO. You think ur gonna win $10 bands? [sic]”
Makayla Chambers – AKA Girl Drake – beat the competition after she arrived in an oversized beige jumper and black trousers, with a fake goatee and her hair in pigtails, similar to the way the Hotline Bling singer had presented earlier this year. Footage shared to Instagram showed other contestants, including “Ozempic Drake”, “Denim Drake” and “Durag Drake”.
