With celebrity look-alike contests all the rage as of late, it only makes sense that Drake would have his own competition.

Fans headed to Casuals Cakery on Queen St. W. on Saturday to find out just how much they resembled the rapper, who said he would donate “10 bands” (a.k.a. $10,000) toward “the main prize.”

There were different takes on Drake, from braids and cornrows, glasses and no glasses, sportswear to classy winter ‘fits, and a lot of facial hair.

But it was a woman who ended up taking the grand prize.

Makayla Chambers showed up to the event with her hair in two pigtails — similar to Drake’s look from earlier this year — along with a fake goatee, black pants and an oversized beige sweater.

There were other versions of the former Degrassi star including “Ozempic Drake,” “Denim Drake” and “Durag Drake,” influencer Anthony Po shared in a reel on his Instagram.

Drake was a fan, sharing videos from the event on his Instagram stories, writing, “I love this city” with several laughing emojis.

Drake’s look-alike contest follows other stars including Timothee Chalamet’s in New York City in October, where the Bob Dylan portrayer made a surprise appearance that had to be shut down by cops.

Glen Powell also had a competition in Austin, Texas, where his mother and aunt helped judge the Twisters star’s doppelgangers.

The winner, Maxwell Braunstein, went home with $5, a cowboy hat and Glen’s mom’s approval, but the actor later offered him a cameo in an upcoming movie.

“I am completely serious. This is a cash-value prize of $6 billion.”
