The Canadian rapper still lost the $1 million bet he placed on Argentina, despite the fact that it might appear the “Drake curse” has been lifted when he predicted the South American nation would win the 2022 World Cup, glamsquad reports.
The rumored Drake curse was given its name in the late 2010s in reference to sports teams’ propensity to lose championships when Drizzy endorses them, whether through something as basic as Drake taking pictures with players or being seen wearing a specific team’s jersey.
Drake staked $1 million on Argentina to win the World Cup in regular time before yesterday’s match. Drake placed the wager on Stakes and, according to a post on his Instagram Story, would have won $2.75 million.
Following a last-second goal, Drake lost a $1 million wager on Argentina winning the World Cup.
Drake could not receive his $2.75 million reward because the score remained equal at 3-3 after three thrilling late goals from French star Kylian Mbappe.
Argentina ultimately defeated France 4-2 on penalties to claim the World Cup.
