Canadian-born rapper Drake is once again feeling the sting of the infamous "Drake Curse." Known for his high-stakes sports bets, Drake recently wagered a whopping half a million dollars on the Dallas Mavericks to win the 2024 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics. Despite his unwavering confidence, the Mavericks fell short in Game 1, suffering a heavy 107-89 defeat.
Drake, who shared his Stake bet on Instagram with the caption "Cause I'm Texan," now faces the possibility of losing $1.37 million if the Mavericks don't manage to turn their performance around. The "Drake Curse," a phenomenon where teams he supports often end up losing, seems to be rearing its head once again.
Drake's Bold Bet
The rap star's Instagram post showcased his belief in the Mavericks, but Luka Dončić and the team were outplayed by Jayson Tatum and the Celtics. As the Mavericks gear up for the next game on June 9 in Boston, fans and critics alike are buzzing about whether the "Drake Curse" will continue to affect the outcome.
Drake's Texas Connection
Drake's affinity for Texas has been growing over the years. During his "It's All A Blur" tour stop in Houston in 2023, he hinted at his plans to become a Texas resident soon. This connection to the state only fuels his support for the Mavericks, but it remains to be seen if his bets will pay off.
The Next Game
The Mavericks face a tough challenge as they head to Boston for Game 2. With the weight of Drake's bet and the "Drake Curse" looming large, all eyes will be on the Mavericks to see if they can bounce back and keep Drake's hopes—and his hefty wager—alive.
As the series progresses, one thing is certain: the "Drake Curse" will be a hot topic of conversation in the sports world. Will Drake break the curse, or will he be adding another loss to his infamous betting history? Stay tuned to find out.
