Canadian rap superstar Drake lost a staggering $300,000 bet when Argentina triumphed over Canada 2-0 in the Copa America semifinals at New York’s MetLife Stadium.
Drake, who had hoped for a nearly $2.9 million payout, took to Instagram with the hopeful message, “This could get Messi @stake,” before the match. Goals by Lionel Messi and Julián Álvarez secured Argentina’s place in the final against the winner of the Uruguay vs. Colombia match, while Canada will contend for third place.
This loss adds to Drake’s history of high-stakes sports betting, highlighting his passion and optimism for Canadian teams. Fans eagerly await the final match at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, to see if Argentina can claim yet another championship title.
