While discussing the competition, a fan remarked, “People are enjoying themselves, and you dislike it just because it’s Drake. It’s not like you don’t dress up as others at events like 90s parties, etc. You’re just grasping at straws.” Another person remarked, “It was certainly a great idea.” Drake ought to have held the competition on social media and given genuine fans a chance to win that money.
