A while back, two of his videos performing Drake songs at a club in Miami were released in which he was seen performing “Trophies” in the first clip and “Way 2 Sexy” in the next clip. We heard him say:
“Is Drizzy really there?” No, you’re dizzy,” he told clubgoers in Miami. “I’m originally from Toronto. I exploded when I arrived here six days ago. I appeared in Tory Lanez’s story.

Fake Drake has now taken a step ahead to meet its demands. Izzy challenged the real Drake to a $1 million celebrity boxing match and vowed to stop impersonating the Toronto rapper if he loses. Well, apart from the winning amount, he also asked for a deal with Drake’s label OVO if he wins.
Speaking on the We in Miami podcast, Fake Drake said: “I challenge Drake to a boxing match. I just signed with Celebrity Boxing. If you win, I’ll change my name from Izzy Drake to just Izzy, you know. FYI, Izzy previously claimed that Drake copied her style. Hard to swallow, isn’t it?

Well, there’s been no word from Drake, who is one of the best-selling musical artists. Now the fact is, should he even care about this doppelganger?
