Drake awards $10,000 to winner of lookalike comp

Drake has gifted $10,000 (£7920) to a female fan who won his look-alike competition in Toronto.

Fans flocked to participate in the contest hosted by Casuals Cakery in the God's Plan rapper's home town.

The bakery took to Instagram to share a screenshot of a DM from the Canadian hitmaker, who said he would donate "10 bands" as "the main prize".

"Yes this is true and real and I hope the Drake doppelgängers are ready. Let's go," the caption read.

Makayla Chambers ultimately took home the grand prize after she showed up to the event with her hair in pigtails - similar to Drake's look from earlier this year - teamed with a fake goatee, an oversized beige sweater and black pants.

'Girl Drake' beat out several other participants who dressed up as various versions of the five-time Grammy winner.

A local influencer shared an Instagram Reel showing contestants dressed as 'Ozempic Drake', 'Denim Drake' and 'Durag Drake'.

Drake reposted several videos from the event on his Story, writing, "I love this city" with a series of laughing emojis.

Several celebrity look-alike contests have gone viral since actor Timothée Chalamet turned up to his own competition in New York City in October.
