Canadian rapper Drake gifted $10,000 to the winner of a contest for his lookalikes. The competition for the best Drake impersonator was organized by the Casuals Cakery bakery in Toronto, with the original grand prize being a bottle of Hennessy and a pack of cigars. However, the rapper found out about the contest and decided to reward the participants with a significant cash prize from his own pocket, although he did not attend the event, reports TMZ.

As a result, the best Drake lookalike and the recipient of the $10,000 prize was 21-year-old Makayla Chambers.

The winner appeared at the competition in baggy clothes, with two braids inspired by the rapper’s older style, and a marker-drawn beard, calling her look «Girl Drake».

On December 12, the Billboard Music Awards 2024 ceremony took place in Las Vegas. Taylor Swift dominated the evening and made history by winning 10 awards. Her total BBMA wins now stand at 49 — more than anyone else in history.

Swift was nominated in 17 categories and won in 10 of them. Zach Bryan, who led the nominations with 21, ended up with just five awards.

The 35-year-old Taylor Swift triumphed in categories such as Best Artist, Best Billboard 200 Artist, Album of the Year, and seven others.
