Drake Denies Sports-Betting 'Drake Curse' Despite Noted Team Losses

Drake has publicly addressed the so-called "Drake curse," a superstition suggesting teams or athletes he supports end up losing. In a promotional video for sports betting platform Stake, Drake dismissed the curse as funny and not real, pointing to the Toronto Raptors' 2019 NBA championship as evidence against it. He acknowledged he is a flawed sports bettor and has experienced losses but emphasized the curse is more myth than reality. Drake also referenced memorable moments like Kawhi Leonard's buzzer-beater shot and jokingly blamed a "Bieber curse" for the Toronto Maple Leafs' recent playoff loss, despite betting $1.25 million on them to win. While he embraces the humor around the curse, Drake insists his sports bets are just part of the fun and not linked to any supernatural jinx. His commentary highlights a blend of skepticism and playfulness toward the curse, underscoring his continued involvement in sports betting despite mixed results.
