In a bold move ahead of Super Bowl LX, Drake has wagered a staggering £735,000 (approximately $1 million) on the New England Patriots to defeat the Seattle Seahawks. The rapper announced his bet on social media, suggesting confidence in the team's prospects and hinting at a strategic edge tied to coach Mike Vrabel's game plan. With the championship game taking place at Levi's Stadium, anticipation is high among fans eager for a thrilling matchup.

However, the bet has sparked concern among fans, particularly in Maryland, who are aware of the rap star's controversial history with gambling. Drake's past betting ventures have often been laced with superstition, leading some to believe that his involvement can influence the outcome adversely, thus igniting fears of a ‘curse.’ The text of his Instagram post, where he encouraged followers to bet against him jokingly, only adds more intrigue and anxiety for those supporting the Patriots.

As the Super Bowl approaches, the stakes are not just financial for Drake but also psychological for fans who are wary of the potential ramifications of his bets. Should the Patriots succeed, it would undoubtedly enhance Drake's already sizable reputation as a gambler; however, should the Seahawks triumph, it may reinforce the notion of a curse surrounding his bets. The outcome of this game holds significant implications not only for both teams but also for the culture surrounding celebrity gambling.
