Drake ‘curse’ strikes again as rapper loses £500k bet after Barcelona lose El Clasico to rivals Real Madrid
DRAKE'S famous curse struck again after the music artist lost over HALF A MILLION pounds on a bet involving Arsenal and Barcelona.
The 35-year-old Canadian has won big by betting on UFC bouts before.
On Sunday he decided to have a dabble on the football - if a whopping £535,000 can be counted as just a dabble.
But all of that went down the pan when Barcelona were beaten 3-1 by Real Madrid in El Clasico.
Earlier in the day, Drake posted a picture of his incredible bet slip with online casino Stake to his account.
He captioned the bet, which was staked in Canadian Dollars: "This morning should be fun... #OVOBarca #COYG @stake."

The likes of Conor McGregor, Serena Williams and Anthony Joshua have all lost in the past after being supported by Drake.
Drake also lost £186,000 in May after a bet on F1 ace Charles Leclerc to win the Spanish Grand Prix didn't come in.
Barcelona can now add themselves to the list.
Barca played the game in special kits sporting Drake's OVO owl logo on the front.
The unusual move is part of Barca's new sponsorship deal with music streaming giants Spotify.
Drake is being honoured for being the first artist to hit 50billion streams on Spotify.
So for a one-off his logo will replace the Spotify logo on the front of Barca's shirts.
