Drizzy handed out a $10,000 prize to the winner of a lookalike contest hosted by a Toronto bakery, adding his personal touch to a fan-driven event aimed at celebrating his influence.
Casuals Cakery, located in the Republic Records artist hometown, organized the competition on Saturday (December 14), drawing a crowd of eager Drake fans dressed up as their idol. Among the contenders was Makayla Chambers, dubbed “Girl Drake,” who walked away with the grand prize after winning over the crowd and judges with her striking imitation of the artist. She mimicked a look Drake had sported earlier this year, complete with two pigtails, an oversized beige sweater and even a drawn-on goatee.
The competition turned heads online after the bakery shared a screenshot of a direct message from the “God’s Plan” rapper himself. In the message, Drake pledged to contribute $10k as the contest’s main prize, giving the event an undeniable star-studded twist.
