Canadian rapper Drake has won more than $1 million after correctly betting on Canada to defeat South Africa national football team in their FIFA World Cup Round of 32 match.   According to PUNCH Online, the Toronto-born star staked $770,000 (more than ₦1 billion) on a Canadian victory. The wager paid out $1,001,000, giving him an estimated profit of about $231,000. Before kick-off, Drake shared the bet on Instagram, saying it was prompted by messages from South African DJ Black Coffee. “@realblackcoffee was chirping in the DM I had to raise the STAKES.” Canada secured a dramatic 1-0 victory at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles after Stephen Eustáquio scored a stoppage-time volley to send the co-hosts into the Round of 16. The defeat ended South Africa’s best-ever FIFA World Cup campaign. Under coach Hugo Broos, Bafana Bafana reached the knockout stage for the first time after finishing runners-up in Group A, including a decisive win over South Korea national football team to qualify. Canada’s victory also marked the country’s first-ever qualification for the FIFA World Cup Round of 16. Drake has become well known for placing high-value public bets on major sporting events, including NBA Finals, UFC title fights, boxing matches and international football tournaments.
