Drake Loses Six-Figure Bet Just Weeks After Kendrick Lamar Called Out Alleged Gambling Addiction

Drake suffered another personal embarrassment over the weekend, losing a little over half a million in the Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk match in Saudi Arabia. According to TMZ, Drake dropped a $565,000 wager on Fury winning the fight.

The outlet says a victory would’ve doubled Drake’s wager, pulling in $1 million. With Usyk’s victory due to split decision, Drake is out of luck like many others. He has the money to make those kinds of bets, though. It’s practically his thing at this point, so much that Kendrick Lamar recently used it in one of his many diss tracks about the Canadian rapper.

In “Meet the Grahams,” Lamar essentially lays out a track addressing Drake’s faults with his family in each verse until finally addressing the rapper himself using his birth name, Aubrey Drake Graham. At multiple points, Lamar accuses Drake of having a gambling addiction, going as far as to place blame on his dad, Dennis Graham. In one blunt line, Lamar claims of Drake: “You got gamblin’ problems, drinkin’ problems, pill-poppin’ and spendin’ problems / Bad with money, whorehouse / Solicitin’ women problems.”

The bottom line is Drake once again lost enough money in one bet that a normal person might not see in their lifetime. It comes amid his rap beef with Lamar and it follows his previous loss of $700,000 on Dricus Du Plessis beating Sean Strickland, $550,000 on Israel Adesanya losing to Strickland, and $890,000 on Logan Paul knocking out Dillon Danis.

That’s a lot of money, but he also wins a lot from time to time. He most recently won over $2 million with the Chiefs second Super Bowl victory. Mainly, Drake should probably stop betting on fights without any control over the outcome. Bet on wrestling.
