Drake offers a shocking $10k prize to the winner of an Instagram-like contest
Drake attracted attention because of the unexpected reward for winners like him.
The final quarter of 2024 was full of surprises as many did not expect the sudden increase in similar competitions globally. Out of all the artists featured in the competition, Drake became the latest inspiration for a competition.
On December 15, Rolling Stone reported that the “Hotline Bling” hitmaker supported the same competition in Toronto that featured the rapper himself. The event was also organized by Casuals Cakery.
It was revealed that Drake knew about the contest in advance and that the original prize included a bottle of Hennessy and Backwood cigarettes. In a screenshot shared by Casuals Cakery, Drake confirmed: “I’m adding 10 bands to the seed contest. As the main prize.”
On the 14th, Casuals Cakery announced some key points to win the competition. It shares that contestants will be judged on their style, creativity, and emotions.
In the end, the winner who took first place was Makayla Chambers, who chose Drake’s braided hairstyle, making her stand out among the rest.

“I love this city,” Drake captioned one story.
Drake gets true love in the city, you can’t fake this or build it up with just gimmicks. Let’s thank Toronto for being real and a true cultural melting pot. pic.twitter.com/kFRjO7yaK1
