AceShowbiz - A Drake impersonator showed up at clubs in Los Angeles over the weekend (October 29 to 31), and even performed the superstar's song "Way 2 Sexy". The "Fake Drake" was first called out by Canadian rapper Tory Lanez last month (October 2021), after he was spotted at Miami, Florida clubs Liv and Story.
Over the Halloween holiday, the "Certified Lover Boy" wannabe - who even has a heart-shaped cut in his hairline, just like the real artist, took the stage at nightspots in L.A. to rap along to the track from Drake's latest album, according to HotNewHipHop.
On October 24, the real Drake's birthday, the imposter was filmed on the mic, but he made it clear he's not the real Drizzy. "Is it really Drizzy? Nah, you dizzy," the man said. "I'm from Toronto. I came here six days ago and I blew up. Tory Lanez posted me in his (Instagram) story. So we just riding this s**t, it's all part of God's plan,' " he added, referencing the real star's 2018 hit.
The Fake Drake was reportedly not allowed to enter certain clubs by eagle-eyed security guards, but fans were seemingly enjoying or buying into the ruse. They were trying to take photos with the celebrity lookalike, Hiphopdx.com reports.
The Grammy winner has not yet publicly acknowledged the impersonator, according to NME.com. He is currently enjoying success with his "Certified Lover Boy" album after it topped the Billboard 200 albums chart yet again in the week ending October 28.
With the feat, "Certified Lover Boy" spent five nonconsecutive weeks in the lead. It has now matched the number of weeks at No. 1 on the 200 chart of Drizzy's 2018's album "Scorpion".
