Drake was definitely amused by his unofficial look-alike contest, organized by Casuals Cakery, which was held at Toronto hotspot Apt 200 on Saturday afternoon.
The 38-year-old Canadian crooner – who boasts 216.3M social media followers – reposted lots of footage of the 20 contestants captioned: ‘I love this city!’
The winner was originally supposed to receive a ‘Toronto Manz’ package containing a bottle of Hennessy cognac and a pack of Backwoods cigars, but Drake (born Aubrey Graham) generously offered to add ’10 bands’ aka $10K to the ‘main prize.’
In the end, Makayla Chambers ‘got the loudest cheers’ and won the ‘Drake-alike Challenge.’
‘It feels great. It feels like I made it,’ the 21-year-old Toronto chef gushed to the Toronto Star.
‘[The pigtails look was] different than everybody else’s. That’s why I’m like, “Okay, I’ll have it!”‘

X user @emiliabadillia tweeted on Saturday: ‘Something so symbolic about a little girl winning the Drake lookalike contest…’
YouTuber Anthony Potero donned a curly wig to channel the five-time Grammy winner’s seven-year-old son Adonis Mahbed Graham (with babymama Sophie Brussaux) alongside his fellow second prize winner, John Puente.
The 23-year-old content creator famously created the $50 prize Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest in Lower Manhattan on October 26, for the digital invite app Partiful, where the 28-year-old Oscar nominee made a surprise appearance.
Drake is next scheduled to kick off his 11-date The Anita Max Win Tour on February 9 at Australia’s Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.
The Emmy-nominated producer will also oversee production on the eight-episode third season of Sam Levinson’s Max drama Euphoria, which reportedly begins in ‘mid to late January.’
Drake spent much of this year embroiled in a brutal public feud with Kendrick Lamar – releasing four diss tracks (Push Ups, Taylor Made Freestyle, Family Matters, and The Heart Part 6) poking fun of his 5ft5in stature, domestic/sex abuse allegations, 50% record deal, as well as his collaborations with Taylor Swift and Maroon 5.
The 37-year-old Pulitzer Prize winner won the battle after releasing five diss tracks (Like That, Euphoria, 6:16 in LA, Meet the Grahams, and Not Like Us) accusing the biracial hip-hop star of Ozempic use, pedophilia, and having an illegitimate 11-year-old daughter.
On November 25, Drake sued their label Universal Music Group for using an illegal ‘bots and a payola scheme’ in order to artificially inflate the streaming numbers of Kendrick’s Not Like Us.

On November 25, the Emmy-nominated producer sued he and rap rival Kendrick Lamar’s label Universal Music Group for using an illegal ‘bots and a payola scheme’ in order to artificially inflate the streaming numbers of Not Like Us (pictured in 2012 together)
The rap rivals started out amicable collaborating on the OVO Sound co-founder’s 2011 album Take Care, Lamar’s 2012 track Poetic Justice, and A$AP Rocky’s 2013 track F***** Problems.
The talented twosome even happily toured together in 2012 during Drake’s $42.6M-grossing, 65-date Club Paradise Tour.
Kendrick – who just scored seven Grammy nominations (Drake got zero) – is next scheduled to headline the Super Bowl LIX Apple Music Halftime Show, which will be held at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, LA on February 9.
