Rap icon Drake reveals the jaw dropping amount he has gambled and lost in the past month

R&B superstar Drake shared online the jaw dropping amount of money he has not only gambled but lost in the past month. The 38-year-old, born Aubrey Graham, has a long and public history of gambling but only just gave fans an inside peak into how much he is spending - and losing. In his betting slip posted to Instagram story on Wednesday, the rapper revealed that he has spent a whopping $192 million on gambling in just the past month — while losing $12m. 'Gotta share the other side of gambling.... losses are so fried right now,' Drake wrote in the caption of his Instagram story. 'I hope I can post a big win for you all soon cause I'm the only one that has never seen a max, these guys max once a week.' Drake has been very open and public with his gambling for years now, often backing the losing side which has coined the term the 'Drake Curse'. A belief that any team that Drake bets on will lose, with examples including $1.8m on Sean Strickland in UFC 297, $1.5m on the Toronto Maple Leafs in game seven in 2019 and $549,000 on Mike Tyson to beat Jake Paul — all bets that lost. The Canadian rapper does all of his gambling on the website which he has a partnership with that sees im doing live streams using their online casino and sports books. His live streams became popular and a viral moment came when Drake said 'I need a max win', which fans and viewers shared online. The slogan was characterised by the rapper as 'Anita Max Wynn', which he sold on merchandise and became the name of his tour that stopped off in Perth earlier this year. Despite the losses, the founder of OVO Sound is not slowing down, posting another bet slip for game six of the NBA finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers.

Conor McGregor flattens man with two punches in packed Ibiza nightclub

This is the shocking moment UFC thug Conor McGregor floors a club reveller with two brutal punches in a packed Ibiza nightclub. Footage obtained by The Sun shows the ex-UFC star, 36, striking a man in the infamous Pacha nightclub on the Spanish party island while drinking on Tuesday morning. The Irish fighter is seen talking to a man on the exclusive club's dancefloor before putting his arm around his shoulders from a platform above. After the pair chat for less than ten seconds, McGregor strikes the man next to his pal with his left hand while holding a glass of booze in his right hand. The first punch failed to cleanly connect, but less than a second later, the 'Notorious' lands a clean left hook as the startled partygoer falls to the floor. McGregor, wearing a black and white shirt and tight white trousers, is then shielded from club-goers by his own friends, who stormed the booth he was standing in. Revellers in the nightclub revealed that after the bizarre scrap, the man punched by McGregor was thrown out, while the Irish fighter kept drinking. One told The Sun: 'Clearly something's been said to annoy him and he's reacted very badly. 'The guy seemed to fall to the floor, and his mates came to pick him up and get him away. 'There (didn't appear to be any) consequences for Conor, but the guy he punched was taken away and I didn't see him again.' The short but violent scrap unfolded at 5:53am after McGregor, who hasn't fought since 2021, had spent the night partying with his huge entourage. Another club-goer said: 'He had his arm around someone who looked like his mate. 'Someone came up to them and when Conor hit him, about five people fell to the floor as the guy stumbled back. 'It was a bit like bowling pins, but the guy was really shaken by the hits. 'About a minute later, the bouncers came and got him on the back and took him out of the club, because he had annoyed Conor. 'It was right before close anyway. There was no messing around, they just removed him. 'Conor left through the garden a bit later, he didn't look very happy that they got into a fight.' Earlier in the evening, the combat sports legend was pictured with glamour model Katie Price at Wayne Lineker's O Beach club. Taking to Instagram, he was seen puffing on a cigar while wearing red shorts, a sun hat and sunglasses while playing up to the crowd. Price, 47, reshaped the story to her own Instagram page with the caption: 'You legend,' after McGregor tagged her in his own story and said: 'Forever'. Spurs ace Danso also shared a snap of himself with the MMA fighter. McGregor later changed his look to a matching black and white shirt and shorts combo as he headed to Ushuaia club during the night, before ending the night in Pacha. The spat comes nearly three years after hot-tempered McGregor stomped on a fan's hat after a teenager tossed it at him to sign in the same Pacha resort. In the July 2022 bust-up, Conor angrily mouthed insults at the fan and gave him a sarcastic thumbs up. And in 2019, McGregor famously sucker-punched a 50-year-old Irishman in a Dublin pub after he refused to take a shot of his Proper Twelve whisky. The Sun has approached Conor McGregor's representative for comment.
