Drake, the multi-platinum selling artist, is no stranger to high stakes bets. And while $1.1 million might seem like pocket change to the rapper, it’s a massive sum for the average person. But when it comes to betting on football games, Drake is not shy. In fact, he recently bet $1.1 million on the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC title game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Drake’s bet on the Chiefs broke the “Drake curse” that many fans and teams have been talking about. The “curse” suggests that whenever Drake bets on a team, they are more likely to lose. But with the Chiefs coming out on top, the curse has been lifted and Drake is now $2.27 million richer.
The Toronto superstar made the high-stakes bet known to the world by posting a screenshot of the wager on his Instagram story. The caption read, “Big Sunday, let’s buy mama something nice.” And it seems like his mother, Sandi Graham, is indeed going to get something nice.
While Drake has had some setbacks in the past when it comes to sports betting, he has also had some big wins. He took home $1.4 million after betting on the Rams to win in the Super Bowl against the Bengals last February. However, he lost $1 million on the World Cup when he bet on Argentina and the bet didn’t cover the extra time.
Despite these losses, Drake remains a formidable figure in the world of sports betting. Fans will be eagerly waiting to see if he places a bet on this year’s Super Bowl. So, keep an eye on Drake’s Instagram for any hints of where his money is going next.
