Drake Drops $10K on a Look-Alike Contest — and a Woman Takes the Crown

Makayla Chambers took home the grand prize after participating in the competition in Toronto on Saturday

A woman dressed as Drake brought home the win after participating in a look-alike competition dedicated to the rapper in Toronto over the weekend.

On Saturday, December 14, the competition was held at Toronto establishment Casuals Bakery where some locals appeared in their finest Drizzy costumes, replicating the rapper’s looks throughout his music areas from “Certified Lover Boy” to “For All the Dogs.”

But taking the crown was 21-year-old Makayla Chambers, who stole the show by wearing two pigtails and a painted goatee. Although he wasn’t present for the festivities, Drake contributed to the fun by DMing Casuals on Instagram and putting up $10,000 for the winner.

“I’m adding 10 bands to the look alike contest,” he wrote. “As the main prize.”

The establishment was shocked at the 5-time Grammy winner noticing the event, as they responded, “Just give me a min to stop hyperventilating this moment.” “I can’t believe this is your account and u know about this omg I love you.”

According to the “Toronto Star,” competition participants “catwalked” at the event and answered questions in their best Drake-like voice. “This is all about Drake, this is all about his fans,” said Casuals founder Lillianna Brown said. “This is the community gathering. We’re just honouring and loving the Champagne Papi and the 6 God!”

The initial prize package, dubbed a "Toronto Manz" bundle, contained a pack of Backwoods cigars and a bottle of Hennessy.
