\n\t\u201cI\u2019m adding 10 bands to the look alike contest as the main prize,\u201d Drake wrote via direct message to Casuals Cakery, who wrote back (with emojis that appropriately reflected their reaction), \u201cJust give me a min to stop hyperventilating this moment. I can\u2019t believe this is ur account and u know about this omg i love you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI can barely type and a whole shock went through my body. But yes this is true and real & I hope the Drake doppelg\u00e4ngers ready. LETSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOO,\u201d the bakery captioned its post.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe competition \u2014 emphasizing creativity, entertainment and honoring Drake\u2019s aesthetic, and called the \u201cDrake Eras Lookalike Contest\u201d \u2014 was held at Toronto\u2019s Apt 200 on Saturday (Dec. 14). Before Drake sweetened the deal, the original winner\u2019s<\/a> <\/a>l<\/a>o<\/a>o<\/a>t<\/a> consisted of a \u201cCertified Toronto Manz Pack\u201d including a bottle of Hennessy, a pack of Backwoods and unidentified \u201cother prizes.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe host posted a variety of footage on Instagram, including video clips<\/a> of the Drake contestants\/winners in action and plenty of photos<\/a> from Saturday night.<\/p>\n

\n\tDrake confirmed his involvement when he shared some of those clips via Instagram Stories<\/a>. \u201cI love this city,\u201d he commented, with four crying-laughing emojis.<\/p>\n
