Drake’s High-Stakes Gamble: Canada Falls to Argentina in Copa America Semifinal
In a nail-biting showdown, Canadian music sensation Drake lost a staggering $300,000 bet as Argentina triumphed over Canada in the Copa America semifinal. The reigning world champions secured a 2-0 victory, leaving Drake’s hopes of a $2.88 million payout dashed.
This isn’t the first time the rapper has faced betting woes. Just last month, he suffered a $565,000 loss after wagering on Tyson Fury to defeat Oleksandr Usyk. Clearly, luck hasn’t been on his side lately.
The electrifying match took place at New York’s MetLife Stadium on Tuesday night. Football legends Lionel Messi and Manchester City’s Julián Álvarez scored the crucial goals that propelled Argentina into the tournament final.
Earlier that day, Drake had shared his bet slip on Instagram, playfully captioning it: “This could get Messi @stake.” Unfortunately for him, Messi’s brilliance on the field proved insurmountable.
Argentina now advances to the final, where they await the winner of the Uruguay vs. Colombia semifinal clash. The highly anticipated showdown is scheduled for Sunday, July 14, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
Meanwhile, Canada will battle for third place against the loser of the Uruguay-Colombia match. As the stakes rise, Drake’s fortunes hang in the balance. Will he bounce back, or is luck simply not in his favor? 🎵⚽💸
