Drake is offering his fans a rare glimpse into his financial world. The "NOKIA" rapper has opened up about the flip side of his gambling habit by divulging the exact sum he lost in a single month of placing sports bets. On June 19th, via an Instagram Story post, Drake shared a screenshot detailing his net profits from wagering over the course of one month. According to the image, the 38-year-old musician had incurred losses totaling an astonishing $8,235,686, having placed bets worth a whopping $124,527,265 over the four-week period. "I gotta share the darker side of gambling with you," Drake captioned the screenshot. "My losses are really piling up right now."
Although Drake didn't specify which bets had contributed to his $8 million shortfall, he expressed optimism that his luck would soon take a turn for the better. "I hope I can share a big win with you all very soon, because I'm the only one who's yet to hit the jackpot," Drake added. "These guys hit it big at least once a week."
This isn't the first time Drake has given his fans a peek into his gambling pursuits. Earlier this year, he showed off one of his wins, revealing that he had made $630,000 on a $210,000 bet on the Baltimore Ravens defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in an NFL game on January 11th. Alongside a screenshot of his estimated payout from the sports betting app Stake, Drake captioned the post, "Wild card indeed."
Money isn't the only thing that's been on Drake's mind lately. Last month, the OVO Sound founder—who shares a seven-year-old son, Adonis Graham, with Sophie Brussaux—highlighted the significance of family in a heartfelt Mother's Day tribute to his mom, Sandi Graham. "It's solely because of your unwavering dedication that we find ourselves in this present life," Drake penned on Instagram on May 11th, dedicating his post to "the kindest and most nurturing woman on earth." He added, "Forever, Sandra's Rose."
