A 22-year-old Canadian man went viral in 2021 for his resemblance to Grammy award-winning rapper Drake. “Fake Drake” (as he’s been named) caught everyone’s attention again when he rapped one of the Grammy award-winning rapper’s songs in a woman’s face at a club in Miami, Florida. 

‘FAKE DRAKE’ HAS DRAKE’S APPROVAL

In an interview with No Jumper, Izzy aka “fake Drake” revealed that he got Drake’s approval to “get his bag” as his lookalike. 

While in Las Vegas, Izzy met up with a friend named Mikey who happened to know Drake personally. Mikey insisted on calling the superstar rapper to “see why he has to say about this whole thing”.

“Drake was just like ‘it doesn’t bother me’, it doesn’t affect me’. ‘Let the guy get his bag, it’s not affecting me,’” explained Izzy. 

Since coming out as the rapper’s lookalike, Izzy has scored club appearances in the United States and Canada and says he is making good money for his two-year-old twins. He claimed that he makes $5000 (roughly R79 000) for club appearances.
