Drake loses $1.5 Million bet after Spain defeat Argentina in World Cup final

Canadian rapper Drake has yet again discovered himself at the center of the notorious “Drake curse” after dropping a $1.five million bet following Spain’s victory over Argentina in the 2026 FIFA world Cup final.

ahead of Sunday’s showpiece at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Drake shared a betting slip showing he had wagered $1.5 million on Lionel Messi’s Argentina to defeat Spain in regulation time. Had the bet come thru, Drake stood to accumulate a payout of more than $5.1 million.

unluckily for him, Spain emerged successful, with Ferran Torres scoring the decisive aim in the 106th minute of extra time to secure a 1-zero win and hand la Roja their 2d FIFA international Cup name. The end result also ended Argentina’s hopes of efficaciously protecting the trophy.

The defeat right away reignited speak of the “Drake curse,” a long-walking fan concept suggesting that teams, athletes or celebrities sponsored through the Canadian celebrity regularly move directly to lose.
