Drake gifts $10,000 to lookalike contest winner

Drake has reportedly given $10,000 (£7,900) to the winner of a lookalike contest a Toronto bakery held in his honour.

Fans of the Canadian rapper turned out in force to participate in the contest hosted by Casuals Cakery his hometown on Saturday.

After sharing news of the competition, bakery shared a screenshot of a direct message from the God's Plan hitmaker on Instagram. It said he would donate "10 bands" toward "the main prize."

Makayla Chambers, a female winner dubbed "Girl Drake" ultimately took home the grand prize after she showed up to the event with her hair in two pigtails, a fake goatee, and an oversized beige sweater - imitating a look Drake wore earlier this year.

The lookalike contest is the latest in a string of viral events that have been held since a Timothée Chalamet-themed competition in New York City in October resulted in the man himself turning up to greet fans.
