Drake’s $300,000 Bet Fails with Argentina’s Win Over Canada
Canadian rapper Drake has reportedly lost the $300,000 bet he placed on his country to defeat Argentina in the Copa America semifinal. Drake, anticipating a big win, was hopeful that his home team would pull through.
Had Canada won, Drake would have received nearly $2.9 million payout. However, on Tuesday night at New York’s MetLife Stadium, Canada fell short, losing 2-0 to the current world champions, Argentina.
Argentina’s victory was secured with two goals, one from Lionel Messi and another from Julián Alvarez of Manchester City. This impressive performance ensured their place in the championship game.
Earlier on Tuesday, Drake had shared his excitement on Instagram by posting his bet slip with the caption, “This could get Messi @stake.” His followers got a glimpse of his high-stakes bet and his hope for a Canadian win.
Now, Argentina is set to compete in the main match on Sunday, July 14, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. They will face the winner of the Uruguay vs. Colombia match, which concluded earlier today.
