Aside from creating music and traveling to some of the most breathtaking beaches around the world, another thing that Drake loves is watching sports to the point that he would bet money on a certain team or player if he feels like they're going to win.

However, there is this thing called the "Drake curse" and it appears that it happened once again after the rapper lost over half a million dollars.

According to Uproxx, the famed rapper, who is currently on tour for his "It's All A Blur" series of shows, placed a whopping $500,000 bet on Israel Adesanya's match against Sean Strickland at the UFC 293.

Other "victims" of the "Drake curse" include Connor McGregor, Jonny Manziel, The Golden State Warriors, and many more.
