Drake drops a bet worth over ONE MILLION DOLLARS for the Kansas City Chiefs to win AFC title game
Will the ‘Drake Curse’ Strike Again?: Canadian rapper drops a bet worth over ONE MILLION DOLLARS for the Kansas City Chiefs to win Sunday’s AFC title game against the Cincinnati Bengals
Canadian rapper Drake decided to tempt fate once again, by dropping a massive bet for the Kansas City Chiefs to win Sunday’s AFC Championship game.
For the second season in a row, the Chiefs will host the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC title game this Sunday night for a spot in Super Bowl LVII in Los Angeles.
Drake’s support has become a notorious omen for some sports teams, with many believing the existence of a ‘Drake Curse’ for teams he wants to win.

As if the Kansas City Chiefs needed any more bad luck, they’ll be taking on the Bengals while star quarterback Patrick Mahomes deals with an ankle injury.
Mahomes suffered a high right ankle sprain in their divisional round win over the Jacksonville Jaguars last week.
While he says he’ll be ready to play on Sunday, that chance for a lack of mobility could hurt Kansas City’s chances of reaching their third Super Bowl in four seasons.
Moreover, they’ll be playing the Bengals and quarterback Joe Burrow – who has never lost to the Chiefs in his NFL career. That includes a 27-24 Cincinnati win over KC earlier this season.

Drake has experienced some heartache when it comes to dropping high-stakes bets in the past few months.
The rapper recently lost a $1million bet for Argentina to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup final in regular time – which did not happen. He stood to win $2.75m.
In November, Drake threw down $2m worth of Canadian dollars for Israel Adesanya to win UFC 281 over Alex Pereira. Unfortunately for the rapper, Pereira won in the fifth round by a knockout.
In October, Drake waded into the world of both Spanish and English football, placing over CA$833,000 on a two-leg parlay for Barcelona to beat Real Madrid and for Arsenal to beat Leeds United.
The Gunners were able to handle the Whites. However, Xavi’s side fell to Los Blancos – with Drake losing out on a return of CA$3.9m.
