Before this, he had been unbeatable and had a clear record. However, after a split decision, Fury was announced as the winner. Later it turned out that one of the people who had put a bet on Paul had been Drake. The Hotline Bling rapper is a common appearance in sports gambling. In this particular case, his bet had been on Paul for 400,000 dollars. That is a big amount but for someone with a former YouTuber’s record, it seems like a safe bet. But he lost the match as viewers know by now. After the results, post-fight, while speaking to the media he addressed the situation. Referring to the infamous Drake Curse, Paul said,

 “F**k! This is Drake’s fault!’ Drake, bro, why did you do this to me?”

What is the dreaded “Drake Curse”?

Drake is known for betting a high amount on a sports event and losing it. The term “Drake curse” has become a thing on the internet due to the downfall of sporting stars and teams once they interact with the rapper and he bets on them.

If the Hotline Bling hitmaker puts on a team’s t-shirt, poses for a photo alongside an athlete, and publicly vouches for any particular team or person, the curse gets activated. The team or the person goes on to lose even against the odds.

Now with his bet on Jake Paul, it doesn’t look like a good omen. The athlete has called out the rapper for his curse. And with his new fight ahead will try to prove the curse is a myth.

With Drake being involved, the fight between Paul and Fury will have the world’s attention.
