Drake has made headlines for his generous gesture, donating $10,000 (£7,900) to the winner of a lookalike contest hosted by Casuals Cakery in his hometown of Toronto. The bakery, known for its connection to the Canadian rapper, organized the contest, which quickly gained attention and sparked excitement among fans.
Inner Drake
The competition took place on Saturday, with participants flocking to the bakery to channel their inner Drizzy. The highlight came when the bakery shared a direct message from the rapper himself, revealing his donation of “10 bands” toward the contest’s grand prize. This unexpected act of kindness only added to the excitement surrounding the event.
The Winner
The winner, Makayla Chambers, stood out for her spot-on interpretation of Drake’s look, wearing two pigtails, a fake goatee, and an oversized beige sweater—an outfit the rapper had worn earlier this year. Chambers, affectionately dubbed “Girl Drake,” took home the $10,000 prize, a testament to her impressive portrayal of the star.
Growing Trend
This lookalike contest adds to a growing trend of viral fan competitions, including the recent Timothée Chalamet-themed event in New York City. In that instance, the actor surprised fans by showing up in person, further fueling the viral nature of such events. With the rappers involvement in this latest competition, it’s clear that celebrity-driven fan engagement is becoming more creative and rewarding for those who participate.
