For a sports team, having a celebrity fan can go a long way. It can bring attention, fanfare, and exposure to your club, sometimes even pushing the team to the next level. Other times, however, a celebrity sports fan can attract a lot of attention for the wrong reasons.
Drake, the Canadian rap sensation, has apparently been "cursing" sports teams and players for years. The joke goes that if you take a picture with Drake, or if he shows support for your team, you will lose or perform badly.
It's a pretty convincing argument if you consider how much money he has lost on sports wagers recently. According to the UK outlet Mirror, Drake recently lost his US$400,000 bet after Jake Paul was bested by rival Tommy Fury in their boxing fight. That's a mere fraction of the total amount he's lost in ill-placed bets, from UFC to Formula 1 to soccer, and more.
Of course, it’s quite likely Drake has nothing to do with any team or athlete, and that he has raked in more money than he's lost, but there’s a much longer and larger history of the Drake curse across various sports and clubs. Some have even called a ban on taking photos with him! Click through to see for yourself.
