‘Girl Drake,’ real name Makayla Chambers, emerged victorious. Drake’s lookalike winner was just crowned in Canada with a hefty cash prize of $10,000. The 38-year-old rapper’s lookalike competition was the latest in line following Harry Styles’, Glen Powell’s, and, of course, Timothée Chalamet’s.

However, Drake decided to join in on the fun, adding a generous donation to the winner’s pool ahead of the big day. Yesterday (December 14), eager contestants lined up to participate at Casuals Cakery in Toronto dressed as their most authentic version of the “One Dance” performer.

From “Denim Drake” to “Boston Drake,” several people were hoping to take home the winning check. But in the end, “Girl Drake,” a woman named Makayla Chambers, was the one to beat all the rest. Videos online showed Chambers dressed like the “God’s Plan” performer with two pigtail braids, a painted-on goatee, and a camouflage quarter-zip. The outfit resembled a similar ensemble Drake donned in October.

Anthony Po, the YouTuber responsible for starting the celebrity lookalike contest spree, shared a reel from the Toronto event on Instagram, claiming that the individual dressed in a bulletproof vest, just like Drake’s known to wear at his concerts, should’ve won.
The “Hotline Bling” vocalist reposted videos on his social media page, complimenting everyone and his hometown. “I love this city,” he wrote. Before the competition, Drake messaged Casuals Cakery to let them know he wanted to contribute $10,000 to the prize fund.
