Drake promises $10,000 to winner of lookalike contest

The Canadian singer, who heard of a lookalike contest in his hometown of Toronto, promised the winner a check for $10,000.

Timothée Chalamet, Jeremy Allen White, Glenn Powell… Lookalike competitions are extremely popular across the Atlantic. To the great joy of the public, and of the stars, who do not shy away from their pleasure. After Timothée Chalamet, who entered one of these competitions, Canadian rapper Drake took advantage of the opportunity to show his generosity, as told by Rolling Stone.

“I'm adding 10 bricks to the lookalike contest, as a reward,” he promised at a fan-organized event in Toronto, his hometown. The organizers published their DM exchanges with the rapper on the networks.

A bottle of cognac and a box of cigars

If he wasn't there for the competition, Drake promised a check for $10,000 to the winner – the candidate most applauded by the crowd. The prize was originally a bottle of Hennesy cognac and a box of cigars.

Around twenty fake Drakes, including two women, competed on Saturday, wearing different looks from the Canadian rapper. They marched, sang, answered questions.

Drake relayed images of the competition in a story on Instagram, with this caption: “I love this city”.
