Drake, the multiple Grammy-winning Canadian rapper, is known for making huge bets in different sports like basketball, American Football, or soccer.
Recently he made his first ever cricket bet- massive USD 250,000 (INR 2.07 crore approx) on Shah Rukh Khan’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) winning the IPL 2024 final against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
Drake took it to instagram, sharing the screenshot alongwith the KKR’s catchline, “Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo” showing odds of 1.70 for a win.
With KKR’s victory, Drake has won US$ 425,000 (INR 3.53 crore approx), according to the receipt he posted.
