Aubrey Drake Graham, a supporter of FC Barcelona, loses an 833,333 Canadian dollar wager to a Bookmarker known as Stake following a loss to Real Madrid.
Drake is a die-hard Barcelona fan and had plenty of confidence in the Spanish team
Real Madrid defeated Drake’s team, Barcelona, 3-1; Torres’s only goal was insufficient to overcome the Spanish superpower; Rodrygo’s second-half penalty goal sealed the victory.
However, the Canadian rapper’s ticket included more than just a bet on Barcelona; he also bet on Arsenal to defeat Leeds, which they did.

How It Happened
Following the £500,000 wager, Drake would have earned nearly £2.5 million ($2.8 million) if Barcelona won their match on Sunday.
The international pop singer stakes CA$833,333.85 (£537,000/$600,000) on Barcelona defeating Real Madrid in the Clasico and Arsenal defeating Leeds United. Over £2.5 million would have been made if both results had been positive!
Why Drake Lose Is Bad: Barcelona, a Spotify-sponsored team, entered the pitch on Sunday with a unique uniform with the owl insignia of Drake’s record company, OVO. During their warm-ups, Barca also wear unique training shirts with the number 50 on the back. This is to commemorate Drake becoming the first artist to amass more than 50 billion Spotify streams.
