Drake reportedly lost $1 million after placing a bet on Argentina to beat France in the 2022 World Cup final.
Little over a month after losing a whopping $2 million on a UFC bet, the hip-hop superstar has lost megabucks again after Argentina beat France in a penalty shootout in Qatar on Sunday (18.12.22).
According to Vulture, the ‘Hotline Bling’ rapper lost because he placed a “bet in a market where extra time isn’t counted and the result is determined based on the score after 90 minutes of play.”
Otherwise, he would have walked away with $2.75 million.
In November, TMZ revealed Drake placed $2 million on middleweight champion Israel Adesanya in his bout against Alex Pereira during UFC 281 in New York, however, the latter won.
If it had gone the other way, the 36-year-old star would have banked $2,900,000.
The multi-millionaire hasn’t had much luck of late.
A week prior, it was revealed that Drake and his collaborator 21 Savage were being sued by the publishers of Vogue magazine for $4 million.
Conde Nast filed a lawsuit against the stars for allegedly using the fashion bible’s name without permission to promote their new album, ‘Her Loss’, and argued the musicians’ publicity campaign was built “entirely” on the unauthorised use of Vogue trademarks and false claims they would appear on the next cover of the publication with the “love and support” of editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
