Drake loses $1 million on bet after Patriots' Super Bowl loss.

Rapper Drake lost $1 million after betting on the New England Patriots to win, who were defeated by the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. The bet was revealed by the artist himself on his social media before the decisive game held this Monday (February 9).

The Canadian singer's investment could have yielded approximately US$3 million had the Patriots won the championship. With the negative result, the so-called "Drake curse" has resurfaced among sports fans.

The alleged "curse" of the rapper

The superstition known as the "Drake curse" has existed for years in the sports world. This popular belief suggests that teams or athletes who receive public support from the rapper tend to lose their competitions, a theme that resurfaced after the Super Bowl LX result.

The game that determined the champion of the 2025-2026 NFL season, the professional American football league in the United States, ended with a victory for the Seahawks over the Patriots. A year after a 62-point Super Bowl in New Orleans, Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, was the stage for a gala defensive display by the Seattle Seahawks. With running back Kenneth Walker III shining, the franchise showed great efficiency in capitalizing on possessions, overwhelming the New England Patriots and winning the NFL title: 29-13.

High-value bet

Drake placed his bet through an online platform, sharing the information on his Instagram account. At the time of the bet, the Patriots were considered underdogs against the Seahawks.

Before the match, the rapper challenged other bettors in his post by writing "Bet against me if you dare," referencing the betting platform he was using.

Betting history

Commentators have noted that Drake's betting history includes both significant wins and losses, fueling debate about whether the alleged "curse" has any real basis.

There is still no information about possible public comments from the rapper after the negative result of his bet. Discussions about the "Drake curse" are likely to continue on social media and among sports fans, especially when the artist makes new bets on future sporting events. It was the second championship for the Seattle franchise, having won for the first time in the 2013 season. A celebration for the city of Seattle, one of the most sports-oriented cities in the United States.
