There have been numerous cases of celebrities having look-alikes from all-over the world, and some of them took the opportunity to try their luck for fame. Izzy Drake, popularly known as Fake Drake, is not an exception as he used his fame online, but the unthinkable happened.
DJ Akademiks recently took to Instagram to share a screenshot of a tweet featuring a side-by-side photo of the impersonator and Drake with the caption "#REPORT: Fake Drake was banned from Instagram for impersonating Drake."
The music producer wrote in his post, "Naaa... don't tell me even Instagram was sick of it."
As of this writing, the Canadian rapper, whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham, has not responded to the issue.
The recent news comes a few days after Izzy Drake challenged the "Take Care" hitmaker to a $1 million celebrity boxing match.
In a video circulating online, the look-alike requested the rapper to fight fist to fist, saying he would quit impersonation if he lost to him.
"It's your boy Izzy Drake, OVO tings, you already know we outside. I just signed with Celebrity Boxing," he said.

He set a date for August 27, saying if the musician wins, he has to sign him to OVO and give him a million dollars.
Izzy also appeared in an episode of the "We in Miami" podcast where he revealed that he'd change his name from "Izzy Drake" to just "Izzy" if the match happens.
The impersonator gained popularity last year when he was spotted wearing an OVO tracksuit at a nightclub in Miami, Florida.
He posed along with Tory Lanez and Justin LaBoy, and the photos immediately went viral.
A few months ago, Izzy spoke to Complex, discussing how his life changed after being recognized by many people.
"People be like, 'Yo, can I get a video? Can I get a photo?' It got to be really crazy. In Miami especially, I have to walk around with security," he said.
He also claimed that people message him on social media to book appearances, in which he's paid $3,000 to $5,000 per event.
Aside from appearing at the venue, he also performs Drake's songs in the club, composed of pieces he curated in a setlist.
