'I'll take Argentina, he'll take France. That will be a vibe,' Drake was heard saying in the three-second footage that appears to be filmed in a studio with a friend.

Although, details about how much his stake is yet to be known, it is expected that it will be as high as he normally would bet having previously staked bets with large sums between $500,000 to $1 million.
