Hip-hop superstar Drake faced a tough loss this month not on the music charts, but on the ice rink. The Toronto rapper placed a massive $1 million bet on his favorite NHL team, the Toronto Maple Leafs, to win Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Florida Panthers on May 18, 2025.
Unfortunately for Drake and Leafs fans, the team fell short with a heavy 6-1 defeat at home, ending their playoff run. The loss was a huge blow not just for the team but also for Drake’s wager.
In a humorous twist, Drake took to Instagram to blame fellow Canadian pop icon Justin Bieber for the bad luck, coining the term “Bieber curse.” Bieber had attended the game with his wife Hailey, and Drake jokingly suggested that Bieber’s presence brought the team misfortune.

This event adds to the ongoing “Drake Curse” narrative, where teams and athletes supported by Drake often face surprising defeats. Despite the setback, both stars remain loyal supporters of the Maple Leafs.
For now, Drake’s focus is back on his music and other ventures, but this loss will surely be a memorable moment for sports fans and followers alike.
