Drake, a rapper, who is also an active sports gambler, previously revealed that he lost $8 million in a single month. Earlier, the rap superstar had placed a $750,000 bet on Royal Challengers Bangalore in Indian Premier League final of 2024.
Rap superstar Drake is also known for placing high-stakes bets on sports, aside from his music. The Canadian rapper regularly attends major global events and bets huge amounts on games ranging from the NBA to cricket. Recently, he opened up about the downside of such gambles, revealing that he lost eight million in a single month.
Drake shared a screenshot of his Stake account in an Instagram story, writing, “Gotta share the other side of gambling. Losses are burning right now. I hope I can post a big win for you all soon, ’cause I’m the only one that has never seen a max these guys max once a week (sic).” The 38-year-old has reportedly placed almost 125 million in bets.
Drake placed a $750,000 bet on Royal Challengers Bengaluru against the Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League final in early 2024.
Fans joked that the infamous curse of the rapper had turned on him, following his social media post. The ‘Drake Curse’ is a pop culture phenomenon based on the idea that any athlete or team he supports usually ends up losing.
The Toronto-based rapper hasn’t shied away from acknowledging that reputation. He even joked about being a flawed bettor in a recent promo video for Stake. He said, “That’s not my gift. I’ll let everybody roll with it. I’m sure if you’re a Drake Curse believer, there will be plenty more content in the future to confirm your theories, because my slips do not cash out. But one day, I’m gonna have a parlay that’s insane.
Drake previously featured on Smiley, Canadian rapper’s latest album, “Don’t Box Me In,” on the work front. Since PARTYNEXTDOOR’s ‘$ome $exy $ongs 4 U,’ it marked the first feature of Drake.
