Lionel Messi managed to break the infamous ‘Drake’s curse’ tonight with avictory over France in the final of the World Cup football. The Canadianrapper (36) said he had bet $ 1 million that Argentina would win againstFrance. That seemed bad news for Messi and co, because he is known for alwaysbeing wrong.
They also call it the in foreign media Drake course. If the rapperinterferes even a little with an athlete, you can wait for him to lose hisnext match. The artist brings bad luck, for example, when he took a picturewith Manchester City player Sergio Agüero. He immediately missed a crucialpenalty in 2019, as a result of which his club lost an important ChampionsLeague match to Tottenham.
The French Layvin Kurzawa was also not safe with Drake in the picture. Aftertheir snapshot in 2019, his team Paris Saint-Germain lost 5-1 to Lille. FCBarcelona was screwed when Drake bet last October that the club would win ‘ElClásico’ against Real Madrid. That did not happen (3-1) and the rapper lostseveral tons.
He is also notorious outside of football. In May, Drake lost hundreds ofthousands of dollars after betting that Charles Leclerc would win the SpanishGrand Prix, after which the driver retired with engine problems. According toforeign media, his bet for several million from recently around UFC starIsrael Adesanya also went wrong: the fighter was defeated in a title fight byAlex Pereira.
Drake’s effect has become so notorious that AS Roma football club evenjokingly forbade its players to take a picture with the artist. The ‘Drakecurse’ cannot be proven, of course, but superstitious Argentines must have hada bad day.
On Instagram, the rapper showed today that he had bet 1 million dollars(almost 944,000 euros) on Argentina’s profit. If he was right within 90minutes, he would win more than 2.7 million dollars (2.5 million euros),according to Daily Mail. That did not work: Argentina only won on penaltiesafter extra time and Drake will therefore have lost his money. But the Drakecurse seems to be officially broken.
