Drake is everywhere, and when he’s not, his lookalikes fill in the gap! In the last few years, several Drake doppelgangers have been popping up on the internet. And you guessed it! There’s another one! The latest ‘Champagne Papi’ impersonator made an appearance at an underground boxing event, sparking a flurry of jokes from fans.

Interestingly, back in March, ‘Voodoo Child’ was performing his 2011 track ‘The Motto’ during his It’s All a Blur Tour when a lookalike was captured vibing to his song in the crowd. It caught Drizzy’s eye, and he shared it on his Instagram story, writing, “I’m everywhere”. Regardless, this doppelganger took things to a whole new level. Here’s how!

Underground Drake for underground boxing match

The clip was shared on X by Happy Punch, with the caption reading, “Someone brought a fake Drake to perform at an underground boxing event”. Meanwhile, in the clip, the doppelganger can be seen performing Drake’s 2016 track ‘Hotline Bling’ while dancing in a boxing ring, as the crowd cheered on every dance move from the impersonator.

But even this guy isn’t the only lookalike ‘6 Man’ has had. When Drake had launched his ‘Certified Lover Boy’ album, a look alike named Izzy Drake or Fake Drake started making the rounds on social media. Fake Drake even got a heart shape etched into his Caesar haircut like the ‘6 God’. But he stepped out of line and challenged the rapper to a boxing match, which resulted in his Instagram account getting deactivated.

While no such thing has happened to the doppelganger in the underground boxing match, fans didn’t let the guy go scratch free in the comments of the post.

‘Frake’ gets roasted to bits

Seeing yet another Drake impersonator, fans were quick to mock the performance and the doppelganger himself. One user gave the guy a new name, writing, “They call him ‘Frake’ he does weddings too”. Notably, the real identity of the impersonator is currently unknown, but he has previously been spotted pulling similar stunts. 

If the previous user’s given name wasn’t good enough, this user came up with another one. The user wrote, “That ain’t drake that’s drakula”. 

The next user took another jab, writing, “Drake from dollar general”. The store sells products at a cheaper rate, so the user was alluding to the inexpensive price to hire the doppelganger.

Someone else mocked the lookalike, claiming, “This is what you get when you put Drake in water overnight”. Despite what people say, the crowd gathered for the underground boxing match seems to be having a good old time.

Another user justified Fake Drake’s performance, writing, “Underground Drake for an Underground Bout seems fitting”. After all, hiring the real one would cost millions.

This just goes to show, regardless of the scale of a boxing event, people find a way to make it extravagant. While how Drake may feel about it is unknown, there’s no denying the entertainment value. What did you think about 6 God’s look alike?
