In 2024, Drake has quite a few cuts and scrapes. Even though he put in a strong performance, the rapper lost the biggest hip hop fight of the 21st century. He dropped $300,000 on Canada to win the Copa America game and then another $500,000. He lost both bets. Well, the Sixth God lost again on Friday when Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson in a boxing match. Even though Drake bet $355K on Iron Mike to win, it wasn’t even close. No, really. The judges all agreed that Paul won the match.
In the hours before the Paul vs. Tyson fight, Drake posted his betting slip. He wrote on Instagram, “I’m late but I’m here money on the line for today.” “And tmrw @stake I need some dubs.” He didn’t get those dubs, though. T.Y. and Drake, who are both from Young Money, put a lot of money on Mike Tyson to pull off an upset, but he didn’t. In fact, some fans in the crowd started to boo in the later rounds, and many thought that Paul was being gentle with Tyson out of respect. This was said by DJ Akademiks on Twitter. He also chose to make fun of Drake for losing yet another big bet on sports.
“Drake my mans,” Ak wrote on Twitter. “But once I seen him bet on Tyson I knew he lost.” It seemed like everyone on Twitter agreed with this attitude. A lot of people were betting that Mike Tyson would win, and they were shocked when the 6 God backed them. There were a lot of memes, and even official accounts like ESPN Bets joined in the fun. Under the picture of a scared Jon Bernthal as The Punisher, they wrote, “Mike Tyson bettors after seeing Drake bet on him to win.”
Some fans were more angry in their answers. “Mike Tyson might not have won, but at least Drake lost,” one of them wrote on Twitter. Another person said, just like we did at the beginning, that Drizzy has had a really bad year. They said, “That guy just can’t get a break this year.” We could name all of the other captions that fans came up with, but we think it would be more interesting to show a collection of the funniest and most interesting responses to the Drake curse.
