Renowned Canadian musician, Aubrey ‘Drake’ Graham, unfortunately lost his wager of $300,000 placed on his nation’s team to emerge victorious against Argentina in the Copa America semi-final match.
Mr. Drizzy anticipated a potential financial gain of
approximately $2,880,000.00 had Canada emerged victorious. However, the team’s
unfortunate defeat with a score of 2-0 against the reigning world champions at
New York’s MetLife Stadium on Tuesday evening resulted in the loss of this
projected payout.
The South American team secured their place in the
championship’s final match, thanks to goals scored by Lionel Messi and
Manchester City’s Julián Álvarez.
On Tuesday afternoon, the rapper shared his betting slip on
Instagram, stating: “This could get Messi @stake.”
Argentina will now face the victor of today’s semifinal
match between Uruguay and Colombia in the prestigious final at Hard Rock
Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, on Sunday, July 14.
Canada, on the other hand, will participate in the
third-place playoff against the losing team from the aforementioned fixture.
