Drake’s betting habit is still undefeated—and by that, I mean he keeps losing.
The Canadian rapper has revealed he’s dropped over $8 million in the last month alone on gambling, with his own screenshots showing he’s wagered a staggering $125 million (yes, seriously) across various bets.
One highlight of this self-inflicted carnage is that he ostensibly lost close to $6 million on Fortnite. Not the Super Bowl. Not a UFC title fight. Fortnite.
“Losses are so fried right now,” he wrote on Instagram. “Gotta share the other side of gambling… I hope I can post a big win for you all soon.” He then added a strange lament about never having “seen a max,” which might be a crypto casino thing, or maybe just his brain slowly unravelling under the weight of that bankroll.
This is far from a one-off. Drake’s long-held reputation for being sport’s unluckiest mascot—better known as the Drake curse—is alive and well. If he backs you, you’re probably doomed. Ask Tyson Fury, Nate Diaz, Canada’s national football team, or any other poor soul he’s thrown money behind.
In recent months alone, he’s torched half a mil betting on Fury to beat Usyk, backed Jake Paul over Mike Tyson (which didn’t go well), and wagered on Canada to beat Messi’s Argentina, only for the Argentine FA to post “Not Like Us” in celebration. Petty, but deserved.
Even when the stakes are high, Drake can’t resist chasing the L. Back in 2022, he lost $1 million on a World Cup bet. Barcelona? Lost after he repped them. UFC bets? Consistently cursed.
He’s still booked to headline Wireless Festival this July in London—three nights, three different sets, and hopefully no bets. But if Drake so much as mentions your name in a slip, take it as a warning. It’s not support. It’s a hex with a Champagne Papi signature.
Long live the Drake curse. The house always wins. Especially when you’re betting like a man with more dollars than sense. Clearly.
