Aubrey “Drake” Graham is leaning into a superstition in hopes that it will give Canada’s men’s soccer team the boost it needs against Morocco on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Canadian rap superstar posted a bet he was placing on Morocco to win on his Instagram Friday night.<\/p>\n

“Won the last time\u2026gonna try reverse curse strategy,” the caption with his post read.<\/p>\n

Drake appears to be poking fun at some of his own sports gambling futility. According to the website The Drake Curse<\/a>, Drake has lost a little over $555,000 betting on sports.<\/p>\n

Now he’s looking to take that bad luck and apply it in a positive manner for his home country.<\/p>\n

Canada faces Morocco in the Round of 16 at 1 p.m. ET \/ 10 a.m. PT on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aubrey “Drake” Graham is leaning into a superstition in hopes that it will give Canada’s men’s soccer team…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":779623,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-779622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/779622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=779622"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/779622\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/779623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=779622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=779622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=779622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
