While the Seattle Seahawks are popping champagne, Drake is likely popping aspirin. The “God’s Plan” rapper turned out to be the biggest loser of Super Bowl Sunday, flushing a cool $1 million down the drain after a disastrous bet on the New England Patriots.
“Bet Against Me If You Dare”
In true Champagne Papi fashion, Drake took to Instagram before the game to flash a massive screenshot of his $1 million wager placed on the cryptocurrency betting platform, Stake. He captioned the post with a bold challenge: “Bet against me if you dare 😂😂😂.”
Well, the world dared—and the world won. Drake was eyeing a massive $2.95 million payout, but the Patriots were absolutely dismantled by the Seahawks in a crushing 29-13 defeat at Levi’s Stadium.
The Curse That Won’t Quit
Fans didn’t even wait for the final whistle to start the roasting. As soon as the Patriots began to crumble under the Seahawks’ defense, “The Drake Curse” was trending #1 worldwide.
-
The Patriots Luck: This was New England’s first Super Bowl appearance since 2018, and many believe they stood a chance until the 6ix God got involved.
-
The Record: Analysts are pointing out that Drake’s “losing spirit” is becoming a statistical marvel. In the last year alone, he’s reportedly lost millions on the Toronto Maple Leafs, the NBA Finals, and the US Open.
“I know every single time to take the opposite of whoever you think is going to win,” one fan commented on his IG. “That’s how bad it is.”
A Rough Week for the Rap Icon
This loss adds insult to injury for Drake, who has been keeping a relatively low profile since his legendary rap battle with Kendrick Lamar (who, ironically, was the halftime performer just one year ago). While he tried to laugh it off on Sunday night, posting, “Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn,” a $1 million lesson is a pricey one even for a billionaire.
