In a twist that has left fans, lookalike contest enthusiasts, and chronically online users both laughing and scratching their heads, a female fan has emerged victorious in a Drake lookalike competition in Toronto. Yes, you read that right—a female contestant bagged the $10,000 prize for bearing the "closest resemblance" to the Canadian singer-rapper.
To add another layer of absurdity to the story, the contest had no shortage of male participants vying for the title. Yet, this unexpected winner took home the grand prize, sparking confusion and amusement across social media. Drake himself sweetened the pot by personally gifting the cash to the winner. But, of course, this left some fans in hysterics and others scratching their heads, asking, “How?” and of course,
"They're not serious lmao."
As expected, X (formerly Twitter) went wild, and it didn’t take long for the memes, reactions, and jokes to start rolling in.
From confusion to comedy: Fans can’t get over the surprise winner of the Drake lookalike contest.
Fans react to the unexpected winner
It’s no surprise that fans had a lot to say about the contest's surprise outcome. Social media quickly became the site for hilarious reactions and retweets, including many questioning the fairness—or even the logic—of the decision.
One fan, clearly irked, added,
"I’m so f*ck*ng heated. I didn’t know how to enter my husband…why did a girl that looks nothing like Drake win?!😭"
The disbelief didn’t stop there. A user joked,
"Apparently there’s multiple."
The implication is that there’s now a whole collection of Drakes out there (including the dudes!).
One fan’s frustration was palpable:
"I just knew Drake was gon give a girl that 10k😭 that one guy got robbed."
It seems many shared this sentiment, feeling like the male contestants were unfairly overlooked in favor of the winner, who, to many, didn’t bear a close resemblance to the rapper. Another fan joked,
"Uh oh. They found his long lost daughter."
Meanwhile, some were baffled by the contest’s logic,
"What? There was a guy who looked just like Drake there though 😂😂"
However, others saw the humor in the situation:
"Lmao the fact they put ‘gagnant’ 😭😭 only real Canadians know."
The use of "gagnant," French for winner, sparked its own wave of jokes about Canadian culture.
As the reactions rolled in, more fans chimed in with their thoughts.
"Utter woke nonsense," one user bluntly declared.
Another chimed in,
"Loooool this is a robbery."
Still, some took a more light-hearted approach:
"Maybe she is the ‘daughter who has eleven years old.’”
The reference is to a popular meme associated with Drake’s own lyrics.
The unexpected background to the contest
Though the fan reactions are gold on their own, the backstory to this Drake lookalike contest adds another level of intrigue. Held in Toronto, the competition was open to anyone who thought they could pass as the rapper. As the event gained traction, mostly male contestants showed up, hoping to claim the top spot and the $10,000 prize. The winner, however, stood out not because she closely resembled Drake but because of the fun spirit behind her entry, according to contest organizers.
Drake, always one to roll with the punches, apparently found the female winner amusing. In his typical fashion, he not only approved of the decision but also threw in the cash prize, proving that the event was all in good fun. While fans might still be debating whether the right person won, the contest certainly generated the buzz it set out to create—and then some.
