US Canadian Rapper Aubrey Graham popularly known as Drake, has lost over 261 million naira after betting on Barcelona to beat Real Madrid in Sunday’s El Classico.
The rapper had taken to his Instagram page to share his bet slip of £537,000 (CA$8333,333). He had bet on Barcelona and Arsenal to win their respective matches. While Arsenal won, Barcelona did not.
Drake stood to win N1.2bn (£2.5million) (CA$3,900,002) if his wager had come good, but Real Madrid picked up a 3-1 win at the Bernabeu.
Although he won a staggering £3m backing both British MMA superstars Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann earlier this year, he also lost £368k after Leon Edwards’ shock UFC 278 knockout of Kamaru Usman.
This is coming off the social media narrative of the ‘Drake curse‘ – which entails teams he supposes always losing.
