Music superstar Drake has been the butt of brutal verbal jabs from fellow superstar Kendrick Lamar, and if things don’t go as he’s planning, he will be at the end of crazy banter from losing $300,000 on a bet.
The Canadian native, known for staking huge sums often, is counting on his compatriots to deliver a win over Copa America defending champions and overwhelming title favourites Argentina in what will be a shock result.
Should Alphonse Davies and Canada pull off the shock after 90 minutes against the Argentines, Drake will become $2.8m richer. Previously, he made $1.2 million from putting his faith in the Kansas City Chiefs winning this year’s Super Bowl.
Drake also cashed out big after putting $1 million on Argentina to win the 2022 World Cup final. Now he’s betting against the same team from reaching the 2024 Copa America final.
The match, taking place at the MetLife Stadium on Tuesday night, will be a rematch between both teams, having slugged it out in the tournament opener that saw Argentina emerge 2-0 winners thanks to second-half goals from Lautaro Martinez and Julian Alvarez.
Who’s your money on to win the game? Are you with Drake, or do you have other ideas?
