On the eve of the grand UEFA Champions League final between PSG and London’s Arsenal, set to take place tonight at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest, Canadian rapper Drake has once again set the sports world abuzz.
Details: According to CentreGoals, the chart-topping artist notorious for his wild gambling streak has dropped a jaw-dropping $1 million bet on Arsenal to win the biggest match of the season.
For the Gunners, this news is a double-edged sword: on one hand, it’s massive support, but on the other, the club is now officially under the looming shadow of the infamous and haunting “Drake curse.”
It’s worth noting that almost every time the musician publicly backs a team, wagers huge sums on their triumph, or even just takes a photo with an athlete, that team or player inevitably suffers a crushing defeat.
For the record, the Champions League final between PSG and Arsenal kicks off today, May 30, at 18:00 Central European Time.
