Drake's $1.5 Million Argentina Bet Sparks Curse Fears
18 Jul
Summary
- Drake placed a $1.5 million bet on Argentina to win the 2026 World Cup.
- The bet could yield over $5.1 million if Argentina wins the final.
- Drake is known for the 'Drake curse,' where his supported teams lose.
Canadian rapper Drake has placed a staggering $1.5 million wager on Argentina to emerge victorious in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. The bet, shared on Instagram, is set to pay out over $5.1 million should the South American team win the match at New York New Jersey Stadium.
This significant bet intensifies discussions around the notorious "Drake curse." This phenomenon suggests that sports figures or teams associated with Drake through photographs or wagers are subsequently jinxed, often leading to losses. The website TheDrakeCurse.com chronicles his betting history.
Drake's recent ventures also include the simultaneous release of three albums in May, "Iceman," "Maid Of Honour," and "Habibti." "Iceman" achieved number one on the UK album chart, marking his seventh chart-topping record. He is also known for hit songs like "One Dance" and "Passionfruit."
