In recent news, Drake found himself on the losing end of a substantial bet during the Anthony Joshua versus Francis Ngannou bout, losing a staggering sum of over six hundred thousand dollars.
The fight, which took place on Friday (March 9), saw Joshua emerge victorious by delivering a knockout blow to Ngannou in the second round.
Drake, known as the 6 God, had placed a hefty bet of $615,000 on Ngannou, ultimately resulting in the loss of his entire wager.
Had luck been on his side, Drake would have pocketed a generous payday of $1.9 million. However, fate had other plans as Joshua secured the win.
On the eve of the match, Drake took to social media to share a screenshot of his bet, showcasing his confidence in Ngannou despite Joshua being the favored contender. This bold move offered the rapper a potential payout of 3.1 times his initial investment if Ngannou had emerged victorious.
Accompanying his post was a caption that simply stated, “Betting on a scary man,” along with a mention of Stake, the betting platform where he placed his substantial wager.
This turn of events serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of sports betting and the risks associated with placing high-stakes wagers, even for high-profile individuals like Drake.
