AceShowbiz - On Tuesday, July 9, Argentina defeated Canada 2-0 in the Copa America semi-final, advancing to the tournament final. Prior to the game, Drake posted a screenshot on Instagram revealing his $300,000 bet on Canada, which would have netted him $2.88 million if successful.

In response to Drake's bet, Argentina's English account on social media posted a photo with the caption "Not like us, not with us," a reference to Kendrick Lamar's diss track against Drake. The song, titled "Not Like Us", has been streamed nearly half a billion times on Spotify.

This loss marks the latest instance of the "Drake Curse," a phenomenon where teams or individuals supported by the Canadian artist often experience setbacks. Drake has lost approximately $2.5 million in bets since March, including $1 million on the wrong team for the NBA Finals and Stanley Cup.

Despite the loss, Drake acknowledged Canada's impressive run in their first-ever Copa America tournament. Lionel Messi, Argentina's 37-year-old captain, praised Canada's performance, highlighting the challenging conditions and strong competition.

Argentina will now face either Uruguay or Colombia in Sunday's final, seeking to secure a record 16th Copa America title. The team's good-natured banter with Drake highlights the playful spirit surrounding the tournament, as well as the enduring rivalry between the two rappers.
