The “Drake curse” has continued as the rapper lost a £1.5 million dollar (£1.1 million) bet after Spain beat Argentina in the World Cup final.

The musician backed the South American side in the final of the international football tournament, but lost it all after Spain’s 1-0 victory in extra time.

The 39-year-old put his money behind the South American team on Saturday through the betting site Stake, and could have had a payout of more than 5.1 million dollars (£3.8 million).

Over the years the so-called Drake curse has seen a series of defeats for sports teams and athletes photographed with or bet on by the artist.

It comes days after he lost a million-dollar wager on Irish fighter Conor McGregor winning his UFC bout against Max Holloway.

A website named TheDrakeCurse.com has even been created to log his full sports betting history.

Born Aubrey Drake Graham, the 39-year old Canadian rapper is known for songs including One Dance, Passionfruit and Hold On, We’re Going Home.

The five-time Grammy winner released three new albums – Iceman, Maid Of Honour and Habibti – all at once in May.

They were his first releases since 2023, and secured Drake his seventh number one album on the UK album chart with Iceman.

He was previously at the centre of a headline-making feud with US rapper Kendrick Lamar, as the American musician insulted Drake in the diss track Not Like Us.

He won't care since he's not betting with his personal money.

Dem no get sense at all because if they do, they would know that: Gambling is the child of avarice, the brother of iniquity, and the father of mischief.

Na Abu money he dey use play the bet.

The bet is just to advertise for stake.com. Don't ever fall for it.

Drake is an Ambassador of Stake. Stake gives Drake money to gamble. His account is an Ambassador's account. Drake wins, more customer for Stake. Drake losses, still more customers for Stake, because you would definitely talk about Stake when talking about Drake's bet.

It is the one of the oldest trick in igaming. They are targeting you and I.

Money wey him suppose use do God’s Plan II

Anyway na him get his money sha

Since I see this guy bet I know woe unto Argentina

While fans enjoy joking about the "Drake Curse," it's important to remember that it is just a sports superstition. Teams lose because of performances on the pitch—not because a celebrity supports them or places a wager. Spain earned their victory through disciplined football and deserved to be crowned world champions.

For Drake, the loss adds to a series of high-profile unsuccessful sports bets, fueling the internet meme even further. Whether it's coincidence or not, every major bet he places now attracts huge attention from football fans and bettors alike.

It absolutely makes no sense really.

Good for him.

FIFA couldn't rig...

Gambling and betting are one path I will never choose.
I'd rather build make money through honest work, persistence, and real value than depend on luck. Money earned with hard work carries dignity. Easy money is rarely as easy as it looks.
