Popular Canadian rapper, Drake, has lost $1 million he placed on Argentina to beat France in normal time in the FIFA World Cup final in Qatar.
Drake’s bet failed as the match finished at 2-2 at the end of 90 minutes at the Lusail Stadium on Sunday.
Argentina ultimately defeated France in a shootout.
Footage emerged on social media of the veteran rapper wearing the kit of Serie A leaders Napoli, declaring his support for Argentina in the World Cup final.
“I’ll take Argentina, he’ll take France. That will be a vibe,” Drake said in the footage that appears to be filmed in a studio with a friend.

The rapper also posted the bet on his Instagram page.
The wager would have given him returns of $2.75 million had Argentina triumphed within 90 minutes at the Lusail Stadium.
The Canadian has placed a series of mammoth bets on sporting events in recent months.
He lost over $2 million betting on former UFC champion Israel Adesanya to defend his title against Alex Pereira last month.
A previous football bet saw Drake place $649,000 on an accumulator featuring Barcelona to win El Clasico against Real Madrid and Arsenal to beat Leeds.
