Monday, June 29, 2026 - Canadian rapper Drake has won $1 million after Canada defeated South Africa 1-0 in their knockout-stage clash last night.
The Toronto rapper had placed a massive bet of $770,000
(over N1 billion) on Canada to defeat South Africa in their FIFA World Cup
Round of 32 clash, with the wager carrying a potential payout of $1,001,000.
After Canada's victory, the bet officially came through, giving Drake a profit

the STAKES," he wrote alongside a screenshot of the wager.
Drake has a long history of public sports gambling. Over the
years, he's placed wagers on everything from NBA Finals and UFC title fights to
boxing matches and major soccer tournaments.
