Drake is once again putting serious money on the line ahead of the biggest game of the year, and this time, the New England Patriots are the beneficiaries.
The Toronto superstar revealed that he placed a $1 million bet on the New England Patriots to win Super Bowl LX against the Seattle Seahawks. Drake shared the wager on social media through betting platform Stake, jokingly telling fans, "Bet against me if you dare."
If the Patriots pull off the victory, the bet would, per the rapper’s post, net Drake a payout just shy of $3 million. As usual, the size of the wager immediately sparked conversation — not just because of the money involved, but because of Drake's long-running reputation when it comes to high-profile sports bets.
Over the years, fans have coined the term "Drake curse," pointing to instances where teams or athletes he publicly supports fall short in major moments. From championship misses to blown playoff runs, the narrative has followed him across multiple sports, turning each new wager into a meme-filled spectacle.
That reputation has Seahawks fans feeling optimistic, with many hoping history repeats itself. Patriots supporters, meanwhile, are hoping Drake finally flips the script and brings some luck instead of doom.
Drake's Super Bowl presence has also fueled speculation beyond the betting slip. In recent days, rumors circulated that he declined an invitation to make a guest appearance during Bad Bunny's halftime show, with sources claiming he didn't want to distract from the main performance.
Whether Drake's bet becomes a victory lap or another entry in the curse canon will be decided on the field. A Patriots win would silence the jokes, at least temporarily, while a Seahawks triumph would strengthen fans’ belief in the "Drake curse.
