«When you go up against Messi, be prepared for chaos: Drake lost $ 300,000»

Football, or, I think, soccer, is truly life for many people. For Argentinians, this is definitely true. So, if you are betting against Messi, be prepared for things to get dirty — and quite amusing — if you are wrong.
On Monday, 37-year-old Drake posted a screenshot on his Instagram stories, where he bet $ 300,000 in hopes of a payout of $ 2.88 million with a tough win for Canada.
On Tuesday, defending champions Argentina defeated Canada in the Copa America semi-final. To respond to the singer «Headline», the Argentine team posted a reference that Drake couldn’t ignore.
The caption read: «Not like us, not with us 🇦🇷»
It seems that Drake has faced one defeat after another since Kendrick Lamar released his «summer hit» (as quoted by Serena Williams, Drake’s former girlfriend), along with visual effects.
The bet was not a one-time situation. People call it the «Drake curse», when he supports or bets on something in sports, and the opposite often happens. He bet against the wrong team in the NBA Finals and the Stanley Cup, losing $ 1 million. Six zeros. Six! He lost nearly $ 2.5 million in bets since March of this year.
Argentina is the team of Lionel Messi, 37, who is widely considered the greatest footballer of all time. But Messi paid tribute to the opposing team, as Canada enjoyed a remarkable performance in their first Copa America tournament.
«To be honest, it was a tough tournament, the level was as high as ever, very bad pitches, high temperatures, which makes the game difficult, very tough opponents. So, to get here and play in the final again, it’s something that needs to be enjoyed and highlighted».
Moving forward, Argentina hopes to win a record 16th Copa America title and will play in the Sunday final against Uruguay or Colombia
