Drake Shares Hilarious Impersonator Video, Quotes Kendrick Lamar

Drake recently took a light-hearted jab at himself through his Instagram Story. The renowned Canadian rap superstar shared a humorous video featuring a Drake impersonator, paired with a memorable line from Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.”

On Saturday (July 27), Drake posted a video of the look-alike performing “Hotline Bling” in a New York City boxing gym. The impersonator, who goes by @johndour25 on Instagram, did an impressive job mimicking Drake’s famous dance moves, including the signature back foot stomp from the original music video.

This entertaining clip was captured by popular social media filmmaker @newyorknico, who humorously captioned the post with, “@champagnepapi played a surprise show at a boxing gym tonight for @dreambabypress.”

Drake noticed the video and decided to share it with his followers, adding the caption, “Sometimes you gotta pop out,” referencing a line from Kendrick Lamar’s track, “Not Like Us.”

Back in 2021, another Drake impersonator made headlines by claiming he earned $5,000 per gig as a fake Drizzy, fooling tourists in Miami into believing he was the real rapper from Toronto.

Drake is one of many hip-hop artists who have unrelated look-alikes. Other notable doppelgängers include DJ Khaled and Lil Durk, who’ve also seen people impersonating them in real life.

Drake’s playful repost highlights the fun side of social media, where even a superstar can poke fun at himself and connect with fans through shared moments of humor.
