The Toronto-born rapper had previously staked CA$2,000,000 (₦600 million) on Adesanya to win against Alex Pereira.

However, Adesanya suffered a knockout defeat just before the end of the bout, leading to another major loss for Drake.

Despite this, the rapper did experience a moment of triumph when he placed a ₦640 million ($400,000) bet on Adesanya for a knockout win in their rematch, which proved successful.

The ‘First Person Shooter’ crooner has become notorious for his betting woes, often publicizing his high-risk wagers and subsequent losses.
