The infamous 'Drake curse' appears to have struck with brutal precision once again, as Canadian superstar Aubrey 'Drake' Graham watched his £1.1 million 2026 FIFA World Cup final bet vanish in the dying moments of the match.
The rapper, who placed a high-stakes wager on Argentina to defeat Spain via the crypto-betting platform Stake, saw his potential £3.8 million ($5.1 million) payout evaporate when Spain secured a 1-0 victory in extra time. This latest financial blow has ignited a firestorm of speculation across social media, where fans and detractors alike are reviving the long-standing sports superstition that suggests any team or athlete backed by the musician is destined for defeat.
