Drake gifted $10,000 to a female fan who won a look-alike competition in his honor.

On Saturday, fans flocked to participate in the contest hosted by Casuals Cakery in the “God’s Plan” rapper’s hometown of Toronto.

Following news about the competition, the bakery took to Instagram to share a screenshot of a DM from the Canadian hitmaker, who said he would donate “10 bands” toward “the main prize.”

“yes this is true and real & I hope the Drake doppelgängers ready 🔥 LETSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOO 💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨,” Casuals Cakery wrote in the caption.

Makayla Chambers ultimately took home the grand prize after she 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, an oversized beige sweater and black pants.

“Girl Drake” beat out several other participants who dressed up as various versions of the five-time Grammy winner.

Influencer Anthony Po shared an Instagram Reel showing additional contestants dressed as “Ozempic Drake,” “Denim Drake” and “Durag Drake.”

Drake, 38, reposted several videos from the event on his Story, writing, “I love this city” with a series of laughing emojis.

Several celebrity look-alike contests have gone viral since the Timothée Chalamet-themed competition in New York City in October.

At the time, the “Little Women” star made a surprise appearance at the event hosted at Washington Square Park, which was later broken up by police.

Glen Powell also offered a special prize during last month’s quest to find his doppelgänger.

The “Anyone but You” star, 36, recorded a video for the hundreds of fans gathered at Auditorium Shores in Austin, Texas, sharing that the winner will be featured in his next movie.

“I want to pull off a heist, and we don’t need masks because we all have the same face,” he said in the clip. “It’s the perfect crime! They can’t get all of us because we are one: a criminal Glenterprise.”

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

Maxwell Braunstein came out on top, winning $5, a cowboy hat and approval from the “Twisters” actor’s mom, Cyndy Powell, who was in attendance.
