Drake, the world-famous Canadian superstar, has lost the $300,000 bet he placed on his country to defeat Argentina in the Copa America semifinal.
Drizzy was expecting an estimated payout of $2,880,000.00 if Canada had gone through but they lost 2-0 to the reigning world champions at New York’s MetLife Stadium on Tuesday night.
Goals by Lionel Messi and Manchester City’s Julián Álvarez ensured that the South Americans reached the final of the showpiece.
Earlier on Tuesday afternoon, while sharing his bet slip on Instagram, the rapper had written: “This could get Messi @stake.”
Argentina will now take on the winner of today’s semifinal clash between Uruguay and Colombia in the showpiece final at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, on Sunday, July 14.
Canada, on the other hand, would settle for the third-place playoff with the loser of the fixture.
