Canadian rapper Drake has lost a whopping $300,000 bet on the Copa America semifinal match between Canada and Argentina.
The Canadian superstar had placed a bold wager on his home team to emerge victorious, but Argentina’s 2-0 win at New York’s MetLife Stadium on Tuesday night dashed his hopes.
On Tuesday afternoon, Drake had anticipated a massive payout of $2.88 million if Canada had won.Related News

Argentina will now face the winner of the Uruguay-Colombia semifinal in the Copa America final on July 14 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
Canada, meanwhile, will battle for third place against the loser of that match.
