Drake stunned fans by revealing he lost over $124 million to gambling in just one month.
The rapper’s betting streak continues to spark concern as past losses also resurface online.
Canadian rap icon Drake has left fans shocked after revealing the staggering extent of his recent gambling losses. In a recent post on his Instagram story, the multi-award-winning artist disclosed that he lost more than $124 million to betting over the past month alone.
Drake, known for his frequent and high-stakes gambling habits, didn’t shy away from showing the darker side of betting. He posted a screenshot from his betting platform, showing a staggering total of $124,527,265 lost within a single month. Accompanying the image, he wrote, “Gotta share the other side of gambling… Losses are so fried right now. I hope I can post a big win for you all soon cause I’m the only one that has never a max these guys max once a week.”
This is not the first time the rapper has made headlines for losing large sums on bets. Back in August 2024, he reportedly lost $450,000 after placing a bet on Israel Adesanya to win his UFC middleweight title defense against Dricus du Plessis. The match didn’t go in Adesanya’s favor, and the defeat dealt a huge blow to Drake’s bankroll.
Just a few months later, in November 2024, the “God’s Plan” hitmaker suffered another major loss this time $355,000 after betting on boxing legend Mike Tyson to defeat YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. Tyson’s loss added to what has now become a streak of high-profile gambling misfortunes for the rapper.
Drake’s openness about his losses has sparked widespread conversation online. While some fans sympathize with the rapper for showing vulnerability, others have raised concerns about the message it sends, especially to younger audiences who look up to him.
Despite the enormous financial hit, Drake appears optimistic, hinting at his hopes of a turnaround and a big win in the near future. For now, though, the rapper’s gambling woes have captured global attention shedding light on the risky side of celebrity betting habits.
