Canadian superstar Drake lost a $300,000 bet on his home country to defeat Argentina in the Copa America semifinal.
Drake stood to win an estimated $2,880,000 if Canada advanced, but they lost 2-0 to the reigning world champions at New York’s MetLife Stadium on Tuesday night.
Goals by Lionel Messi and Manchester City’s Julián Álvarez secured Argentina’s place in the final.
Earlier on Tuesday, Drake had shared his bet slip on Instagram, captioning it: “This could get Messi @stake.”
Argentina will face the winner of today’s semifinal between Uruguay and Colombia in the final at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, on Sunday, July 14.
Canada will compete in the third-place playoff against the loser of that fixture.
