Whenever Drake supports a team with his rooting interest or backs them with his six-figure bets and that franchise ends up losing, the 6 God hears all the noise from sports fans about the âDrake Curse.â
Drake was finally asked about the mythical curse in a mock interview he posted to his Instagram on Monday (May 19) in promotion of his partnership with Stake.
âI feel like I donât play sports, whether I picked the wrong team or not, if I could get out there and win for all your favorite teams, I would,â he said.
Ultimately, Drake feels vindicated that a âcurseâ doesnât exist because the Toronto Raptors captured their first NBA championship in 2019.
âThe Drake curse is funny to me,â he revealed. âFirst of all, the Toronto Raptors are NBA champions. If there was a Drake curse, Kawhi [Leonard] wouldâve never hit that shot, we wouldâve never beat the Warriors. There is no Drake curse, but itâs funny, though.â
However, Drake did concede that he isnât a sports gambling savant and has taken his fair share of monetary losses with bad bets over the years.
âI am a flawed sports better,â Drizzy admitted. âI will not deny that. Thatâs not my gift. Iâll let everybody roll with it. Iâm sure if youâre a Drake curse believer, there will be plenty more content in the future to confirm your theories because my slips do not cash out. But one day Iâm gonna have a parlay thatâs insane.â
Drake added to the âDrake Curseâ theories on Sunday night when his hometown Toronto Maple Leafs were eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs after a 6-1 thrashing at the hands of the Florida Panthers in Game 7.
Drizzy actually ended up betting $1.25 million on the Maple Leafs to take home the game 7 victory and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
However, Drake jokingly flipped the script and blamed the âBieber Curseâ in his IG Story, as Justin Bieber, whoâs a massive Leafs fan, was in attendance front and center at Scotiabank Arena with his wife, Hailey, to watch the excruciating loss in person.
âI donât remember a time in my life when I havenât been obsessed with the leafsssss,â Bieber wrote following the loss on his Instagram. âThis year we made it farther than we have in so long and im happy about that. I can be patient cuz I know this is the team to do it.â
