Getting Drake to make a guest appearance at an event is probably the best-case scenario for anybody, but when his price is too high, there's a cheaper alternative ready to go.

Izzyfamous, a media personality whose claim to fame is his impersonation of Drake, was a special guest at the Social Influencer Night (S.I.N.) Awards in Montreal. You can watch some of his performance in the Instagram carousel below.

The S.I.N. Awards held its inaugural ceremony on Nov. 12 and aims to celebrate content creators from various platforms.

Included in the awards show were categories such as Influencer of the Year, Afro/Caribbean Artist of the Year, Male and Female Hip-Hop Artists of the Year, and Pop Artist of the Year.

IzzyFamous was also invited to perform a song that he said was "unreleased."

The video posted to IzzyFamous' Instagram shows a brief glimpse into his performance where he's running around and rapping on stage.

A year ago Adam22 interviewed IzzyFamous on No Jumper and said he had to head back to Canada to perform at events.

"I'm actually going back to Canada cause I got some tours there," Izzy said. "Like I got some music events I gotta show up to. You know, people DM me like, 'Hey would you wanna come to my event? Because I can't pay Drake he's too expensive. I'll pay you $5,000.'

Last week, Izzy performed at a small venue in Toronto and rapped over an unreleased collaboration between Drake and Lil Wayne that reportedly leaked in 2018.
