SUMMARY
- Drake has wagered on the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl in 2024.
- He has revealed the real reason behind his wage on the Chiefs.
Drake is a multi-Grammy-winning rapper known for his number-one singles. But he frequently places large wagers on social media, and regrettably, the team or individual he backs generally loses. One term for this phenomenon is the ‘Drake curse’.
Drake seemed unfazed by the allegations of a possible curse when it came to risking his money on the big game. He just posted a picture of his $1.15 million wager on the Kansas City Chiefs to defeat the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII on social media.

Just as Drake revealed this to the public, the whole of the NFL community went wild. The 49ers fans started celebrating and reacting to his post on social media. Many fans took to social media to put forward their views, as one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “The Drake Curse strikes again” while another wrote, “49ers confirmed win.”
It remains to be seen what happens next with the ‘Drake Curse’ and whether it will come into play once again during this highly anticipated match. However, the Kansas City Chiefs are tipped to win this match against the San Francisco 49ers.
Drake reveals the reason behind his bet on the Chiefs
The Canadian musician and songwriter is renowned for his Grammy awards and great songs. However, he also has a reputation for ruining sports teams and celebrities by either showing up with them or making huge bets on them to lose. Most recently, he has wagered on the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl in 2024.
Notably, he supposedly wagered sixty thousand dollars on the Golden State Warriors to win the NBA Championship in 2016. The Cleveland Cavaliers, led by LeBron James, defeated the record-setting Warriors, and this shocked the whole NBA community.

However, Drake remarked on Instagram, posting a screenshot of the wager, “I can’t bet against the swifties,” even though the Chiefs are the modest favorites to win. It’s possible that Chiefs supporters would have rather seen Drake wager against the Swifties.
Drake’s recent betting history at the Super Bowl
One of the most well-known sports wagers in the world is the rapper Drake. He has long gambled six-figure amounts on sports. He has a poor track record when it comes to sports wagering, though, as most of the time he has wagered on a team that has lost.
As soon as he risked his money on the team, fans noticed, and the phrase ‘Drake Curse’ was born. In the past, he has also wagered a lot on the Super Bowl editions. In 2023, he wagered nearly $1 million on different props. All in all, Drake had a successful game, and although his props didn’t perform well, he did win his biggest wager.

Not only that but in the 2022 Super Bowl, he wagered nearly $393,000 that the Rams would win. Eventually, he turned out to be right, as the Rams did win against the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20. Most recently, he has wagered on the Kansas City Chiefs for the 2024 Super Bowl.
