Prior to meeting Tommy Fury, the YouTuber turned boxer, Jake Paul created hype around his boxing skills that many people around the world placed a heavy bet on him. Canadian rapper Drake was also among those who were confident of the American’s win. He revealed before the fight on social media that he placed a $400,000 bet on Paul. After a hard-fought eight rounds of war, Paul lost the fight via split decision. In the post-fight press conference, ‘The Problem Child’ was asked about Drake’s bet. To which, he joked about falling victim to the famous “Drake’s curse”.

He sarcastically said, “F**k. This is Drake’s fault. Drake bro why did you do this to me.” Interestingly, “Drake’s curse” is a famous term for sporting events. This is due to the rapper’s previous bets not paying off as expected. Paul jokingly blamed Drake’s bet for his loss following the fight. However, he later took the blame on himself and apologized to Drake.

Paul gave this drama a new turn. He showcased his fighting spirit and took the blame on himself for failing to bring a victory in honor of the rapper. Top Rank Boxing shared Paul’s response on Twitter and wrote, “Not the @Drake curse.”

Paul said, “It’s my fault. $400,000 is nothing to him. He has won a lot more money betting on me before. He’s probably about even now. Sorry, Drake, I’ll get that W in the rematch.”
