In a recent turn of events, rapper Drake, known for his love of sports betting, has once again faced a significant loss in Bitcoin. This time, he bet $300,000 worth of Bitcoin on the Canadian national soccer team to beat Argentina in the Copa América semi-final. However, Argentina’s 2-0 victory dashed Drake’s hopes of a big win, with Lionel Messi leading the charge.
This loss adds to Drake’s recent streak of betting setbacks, with him losing $1 million in June alone. Despite the financial hit not being a major concern for someone of Drake’s stature, it does highlight a tough period in his betting activities.
Drake placed his bets through the crypto betting platform Stake, where he also serves as a brand ambassador. He shared his betting activities on social media as part of his promotional efforts for the platform.
Following the match, Argentina’s social media team took a cheeky jab at Drake by posting a photo with the caption, “Not like us, not with us.” This reference to Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us” added insult to injury for Drake.
In other news, Brazilian soccer legend Ronaldinho Gaúcho recently promoted the WATER memecoin on Instagram, sparking concerns within the crypto community about the token being a pump-and-dump scheme.
Overall, Drake’s betting woes continue with this latest loss, and Argentina didn’t miss the opportunity to tease him on social media. It seems that even celebrities like Drake are not immune to the ups and downs of sports betting in the crypto world.
