Drake did it again. 🎤💸 The Canadian rapper bet $1.5 million in cryptocurrency on Argentina defeating Spain in the 2026 World Cup final, at odds that would pay him more than $5 million if he gets it right.

The problem is his track record: at Qatar 2022, he bet one million on Argentina against France and lost on a technicality, even though Scaloni’s team ended up as champions. Since then, the ‘Drake curse’ has existed, a theory claiming that everything he publicly backs ends up going wrong.

With 87 recorded bets and only a 36.8% success rate according to thedrakecurse.com, there is only one question making the rounds on social media: will La Scaloneta escape the jinx this time? ⚽🔥
