Drake loses $1million bet on Patriots to win the Super Bowl as the ‘Drake Curse’ strikes again

 Canadian rapper Drake lost US$1 million on a Super Bowl bet. Drake revealed on Instagram that he had backed the New England Patriots to win during yesterdays NFL showpiece game, but their 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks meant he missed out on an estimated return of US$2,950,000. Drake had shared a photo of his bet and wrote: Bet against me if you dare.In 2016, he lost a US$60,000 bet to French Montana over the NBA finals, and last year, he bet $1 million on the NHLs Toronto Maple Leafs, only for them to lose to the Florida Panthers. And before the 2025 Super Bowl, Drake placed a seven-figure sum on the Kansas City Chiefs winning the match, only for them to lose to the Philadelphia Eagles. In 2022, he lost US$2m after a flutter on a UFC bout when the result went the wrong way. He had backed Nigerian-Kiwi favourite Israel Adesanya to win against Brazilian Alex Pereira in November that year, with the hope of netting himself US$2.9m, but the underdog won and took the UFC middleweight title following a technical knockout in the fifth round. Drake previously laughed off suggestions of a curse. He said: The Drake Curse is funny to me, honestly. First of all, the Raptors won a championship, so nobody could ever talk to me about the Drake Curse. The Toronto Raptors are NBA champions. If there was a Drake Curse, Kawhi [Leonard] wouldve never hit that shot, we wouldve never beat the Warriors. There is no Drake curse, but its funny, though. The Rich Baby Daddy hitmaker admitted he is a flawed sports bettor and noted it is not my gift. He added: Im sure if youre a Drake curse believer, there will be plenty more content in the future to confirm your theories because, for whatever reason, my slips do not cash out.  The post Drake loses $1million bet on Patriots to win the Super Bowl as the ‘Drake Curse’ strikes again appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
