Multiple outlets report that rapper Drake loses a reported £1.1 million after placing a bet on the World Cup final. According to the reports, Drake backs Spain in the match and then loses the wager when Spain win the final 1-0 in extra time. The articles frame the loss as part of a series of high-value bets that have not worked out for him. One outlet notes the result comes days after Drake reportedly suffered another large financial loss, a separate wager linked to Conor McGregor’s UFC bout against Max Holloway. While headlines use the phrase “Drake curse,” the reporting focuses on the betting outcomes rather than any proven cause. Across the sources, the consistent elements are the size of the World Cup final bet, the final score and timing of Spain’s win, and the claim that the loss follows a prior reported defeat on a different sports bet. No additional details on the betting terms, odds, or verification of the reported amounts are provided in the excerpts.
