Drake has proven himself to be a betting man, as he’s joined fellow football fans by placing bets on the World Cup.

Now, the Hotline Bling singer’s home team of Canada has already crashed out of the Qatar tournament this year.

So, the 36-year-old, needs another team to back, and seems to be predicting Argentina to go the distance.

A video shows Drake and a pal discussing World Cup bets and who each of them wants to place their money on.

‘World Cup, who do you have in the World Cup?’, the musician asked.

His friend then replied with France, to which Drake continued: ‘I got Jamaica. They’re still in, right?’

When his friend let out a laugh, Drake told his team off camera to set up a poll to see who fans sided with.

‘I’ll take Argentina, he’ll take France,’ Drake said. ‘We’ll make that happen, that’ll be a vibe.’

However, not everyone is happy with Drake supporting their team, as plenty in the comments claimed Argentina is now doomed with the ‘Drake Curse.’

‘My full salary on France tmrw [sic]’, commented one.

‘Messi cursed for rest of the season’, wrote another.

For some background, the Drake Curse has been around for a while, and it basically refers to how, when Drake has shown his support for sporting teams in the past… they have lost.

The four-time Grammy award winner has often been accused of sealing the fate of athletes and teams in recent years, after wearing a team’s shirt, posing for a photo alongside an athlete, or publicly voicing his support.

It isn’t uncommon for a team to then, even if all the odds are in their favour, to crash out.

The so-called curse got so extreme that, in 2019, A.S. Roma even joked on Twitter that they had banned all of their players from having their pictures taken with Drake.

Past examples of the ‘Drake Curse’ include Anthony Joshua joking that he was a victim after his American debut was spoiled by Jarrell Miller’s failed drug tests.

Sergio Aguero missed a penalty in a Champions League quarter-final against Tottenham after being photographed with Drake, and Liverpool were annihilated in the Premier League after striker Daniel Sturridge met the Canadian star.

And it’s not just football that the ‘curse’ affects, as it originally started in basketball, before spreading into tennis, boxing, and MMA.

So, can Argentina defy the odds and come out on top? Drake is hoping so…!
