Canadian rapper Drake on Sunday won more than $1 million after Canada defeated South Africa 1-0 in their FIFA World Cup Round of 32 clash.
The Toronto-born rapper had staked $770,000 (over N1 billion) on Canada to beat South Africa, with the wager carrying a potential payout of $1,001,000. Following Canada’s victory, Drake secured a profit of about $231,000.
Ahead of the match, Drake revealed on his instagram handle on Sunday that the bet was inspired by a message from South African DJ Black Coffee.
“@realblackcoffee was chirping in the DM I had to raise the STAKES,” he wrote while sharing a screenshot of the wager.
