The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) team made history on June 3rd, winning their first Indian Premier League (IPL) championship title. The victory was a bonanza for Canadian rapper Drake, who had bet $750,000 (₹6.4 crore) on RCB's win. His wager paid off, earning him an impressive $1.3 million (₹11 crore). The team's prize money was ₹200 million, with Drake receiving more than half of it in a matter of hours. The rapper's bold bet was met with excitement from fans of hip-hop and cricket, and his win may have turned him into a regular RCB supporter. The team's victory celebration was marred by the 'Drake Curse', a phenomenon where fans of RCB unintentionally jinx sportsmen and teams with their open support. Despite initial hesitation, RCB supporters praised Drake for his faith in the team.
