The winner of the Drake lookalike contest was a woman named Makayla Chambers who showed up to the event in two pigtails and a fake beard.
Drake hilariously reacted to his unofficial lookalike contest, organised by a bakery in Toronto.
The 38-year-old got in touch with them on social media, and added a huge $10,000 to the main prize consisting of alcohol and cigars.
In the end, the winner, a 21-year-old, was triumphant after she received the loudest cheers, saying "It feels great. It feels like I made it," to the Toronto Star.
The winner said her look set her apart from the competition: “It’s different than everybody else’s, that’s why I’m like, ‘OK, I’ll have it’!”
Despite Drake not showing up to the event, a group of around 20 Drake lookalike's catwalked down the floor and even spoken in their best Drake-style voice.
He also reshared multiple clips from the event on his Instagram stories, which have since expired.
