Drake’s infamous sports betting curse has struck again after the rapper lost a $1.5 million wager following Argentina’s defeat to Spain in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final.
The Canadian superstar placed his bet on Argentina through the betting platform Stake, hoping the defending champions would secure another historic title. A victory would have reportedly earned Drake more than $5.1 million.
However, Spain ended Argentina’s hopes with a dramatic 1-0 extra-time victory, leaving Drake without the massive payout and adding another chapter to his growing sports betting history.
Following the final whistle, fans flooded social media with jokes and reactions, once again blaming the so-called “Drake Curse” for Argentina’s loss.
The term has become popular among sports fans after several teams, athletes and events supported by Drake have suffered unexpected defeats.
The World Cup loss came shortly after another major betting setback for the rapper. Just days earlier, Drake reportedly lost a $1 million wager after Irish MMA fighter Conor McGregor was defeated by Max Holloway in a UFC fight.
