Drizzy also reveals millions in gambling losses after cold betting streak
Drake raised eyebrows over the weekend when he made an unexpected appearance alongside country singer Morgan Wallen during a concert in Houston. Though he didn’t perform, the Toronto rap icon joined Wallen and former MLB star Roger Clemens as they walked out on stage, with the moment later shared by Wallen in a backstage clip soundtracked by Drake’s “Under Ground Kings.”
The appearance was particularly controversial given Wallen’s past scandal involving his use of a racial slur, which was caught on camera in 2021. Despite a public apology, the incident initially sparked backlash but ultimately resulted in a surprising spike in his popularity. Drake, who has previously appeared on livestreams with other polarizing figures such as Adin Ross, is once again facing criticism for seemingly endorsing another white celebrity associated with racial controversy.
Meanwhile, the rapper is also making headlines for a staggering losing streak in online gambling. A recent Instagram Story showed that Drake wagered nearly $125 million over the past month, losing more than $8 million. One failed bet included $800,000 on the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals. Despite past wins — including a reported $40 million haul in early 2024 — Drake admitted, “Losses are so fried right now.”
