Canadian hip-hop star, Drake has lost the $300,000 bet he placed on his country to defeat Argentina in the Copa America semifinal.
Drizzy was expecting an estimated payout of $2.88 million if Canada had gone through, but they lost 2-0 to the reigning world champions at New York’s MetLife Stadium on Tuesday night.
Chronicle NG reported that goals by Lionel Messi and Julian Alvarez ensured that the South Americans reached the final of the showpiece.
Drake shared the news on social media on Tuesday with the playful caption, “This could get Messi,” accompanied by a Canadian flag.
Canada’s pursuit of its first major title since the 1990 North American Nations Cup was aborted by Argentina in the prestigious South American event.
Argentina will now take on the winner of today’s semifinal clash between Uruguay and Colombia in the showpiece final at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, on Sunday, July 14.
Canada, on the other hand, would settle for the third-place playoff with the loser of the fixture.
