Drake loses over half a million dollars in Fury vs. Usyk boxing bet

Drake has lost over $500,000 (£393,000) after betting that Tyson Fury would win the recent boxing match against Oleksandr Usyk.The rapper made the bet ahead of the match last Saturday (May 18), and shared a screenshot of a gambling slip on Instagram Stories – proving that he’d put a staggering $565,000 (£444,000) on Fury’s name via the online casino Stake.However, following Usyk proving victorious and becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion, the rapper has lost the huge sum.The victory was a close call, and Billboard highlighted how a judge at Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia originally scored the match 114-113 in Fury’s favour. This was then overturned by the two other judges who favoured Usyk 114-113 and 115-112, respectively.If Fury had taken home the win on the night, Drake would have had a payout of just over $1million (£786,600) from the bet.Drake bets $565K on Tyson Fury to beat undefeated Oleksandr Usyk pic.twitter.com/I8G4Os4dEK— HipHopDX (@HipHopDX) May 18, 2024The rapper is no stranger to placing large bets on sporting events, and has gathered a reputation in recent years for frequently losing huge amounts of money thanks to the “Drake curse”.Last summer, for instance, the rapper lost $250k after betting on UFC legend Nate Diaz during a boxing match between him and Jake Paul.

Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track ‘Not Like Us’ breaks records and rockets to Billboard Number One
Kendrick Lamar’s diss track against Drake ‘Not Like Us’ has broken records and topped the singles charts.The two rappers have been engaged in a feud for years now, although the beef has come to a head in recent weeks – with each sharing increasingly personal diss tracks lately and other artists getting involved.Now, it seems that Lamar has taken home the victory, at least in terms of chart figures, with his diss track ‘Not Like Us’ debuting at the Number One spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US.The track arrived at the start of the month, as the rapper’s third Drake diss in 36 hours. It also saw him making some accusations about the Canadian rapper over his supposed preference for younger women, to the point where he calls him a “certified paedophile”.By topping the charts, ‘Not Like Us’ has become Lamar’s fourth Number One song, following on from his feature on Future and Metro Boomin’s ‘Like That’ earlier this year, ‘Humble’, which arrived in 2017 and his verse on Taylor Swift’s 2015 track ‘Bad Blood’.It has broken records too, with Brooklyn Eagle reporting that the track has become the hip-hop song that has been streamed the most times in a day on Spotify – racking up 6.8million plays.Another one of his scathing tracks against Drake, ‘Euphoria’, also went on to do well on the charts and reached the Number Three spot last week after debuting at Number 11.As highlighted by The Guardian, ‘Family Matters’ – one of Drake’s numerous responses to the feud – is placed higher up at Number Seven on the charts, marking another win for Lamar.The beef between the two came to a head last month, when Lamar contributed a verse to Future and Metro Boomin’s ‘Like That‘, and used the collab to respond to J.

Drake taunts Kendrick Lamar again with A.I. 2Pac and Snoop Dogg on ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’
Drake has taunted Kendrick Lamar once again on the new track ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’, making use of AI versions of 2Pac and Snoop Dogg.The song was posted on the rapper’s X account today (April 20), the latest in a string of shots back and forth between the two artists.The first verse on the track has been manipulated to sound like 2Pac, with lines including: “Kendrick, we need ya, the West Coast savior / Engraving your name in some hip-hop history / Fuck this Canadian light-skin, Dot / We need a no-debated West Coast victory, man”.Taylor Made Freestyle pic.twitter.com/OrcdsIb8Wf— Drizzy (@Drake) April 20, 2024That is swiftly followed by the AI Snoop, who also goads Kendrick into defending the West Coast legacy: “I know you never been to jail, or wore jumpsuits and shower shoes / Never shot nobody, never stabbed nobody / Never did nothing violent to no one, it’s the homies that empower you / But, still, you gotta show this fucking owl who’s boss on the West / Now’s a time to really make a power move”.On the final verse, Drake’s true voice comes through: “I guess you need another week to figure out how to improve / What the fuck is taking so long, we waitin’ on you / The rest of y’all are definitely involved, y’all gettin’ it too / Soon as you get the courage to drop, I’m out on the loose“.Drizzy also uses the dominance of Taylor Swift’s new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ to mock Kendrick: “But now we gotta wait a fucking week ’cause Taylor Swift is your new top / And if you ’bout to drop, she gotta approve”.Drake was continuing to taunt Kendrick yesterday, telling fans that K-Dot “had nothing to drop” in response to Drizzy’s ‘Push Ups’ diss track.The issue began on the 2023 single ‘First Person Shooter’, when
