Drake won big on last night’s Super Bowl, claiming a million dollar prize after placing a bet on the Kansas City Chiefs to win.Super Bowl LVIII went down last night (February 11) at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, with Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce helping the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22.Drake was not in attendance, but was nonetheless a highly interested observer, after placing a $1.15 million (£910,000) stake on the Chiefs, which allowed him to double his money.Drake celebrates winning his $1 Million Super Bowl bet pic.twitter.com/M2rhbuCkbu— Daily Loud (@DailyLoud) February 12, 2024Posting on Instagram stories, Drizzy was celebrating, saying, “I won a million dollars”, and “can’t bet against the Swifties”.It appears that for once, the ‘Drake curse’ did not hit – the supposed trend of the rapper being a bad-luck charm for sports teams and stars when he poses with them or places a bet on them to succeed.Manchester City and Barcelona have both been on the wrong end of the Drake curse in recent years, although another million dollar bet, on Argentina to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup, also came good for the rapper.In other Drake news, he recently rekindled his ongoing feud with The Recording Academy, slamming them during the Grammys ceremony.Posting to his Instagram Stories, he shared a short snippet of his speech at the 2019 awards – for which he won in the category of Best Rap Song for his track ‘God’s Plan’.In the caption, he wrote: “All you incredible artists remember this show isn’t the facts, it’s just the opinion of a group of people [whose] name are kept a secret (literally you can Google it).“Congrats to anybody winning anything for hip hop but this show doesn’t dictate shit in

the viral, allegedly leaked X-rated video of him engaging in a sexual act.During the Nashville stop of his “It’s All A Blur Tour – Big As the What?” tour with J. Cole — and Lil Durk for this performance — Drake, 37, told the audience, “I know y’all probably waitin’ on me to address this, so the rumors are true,” he paused, “My dad is here! That’s what y’all were waitin’ for?” The “Way 2 Sexy” rapper did not elaborate any further about the video.The Post has contacted a rep for Drake for comment.

Lil Wayne has said he believes Drake is “hated on” the hip-hop community because he is “light-skinned.”The Louisiana-born rapper appeared on The Richard Sherman Podcast last week. Sherman praised Wayne’s talent-scouting skills, to which the latter credited his mentor and Cash Money Records co-founder Birdman for showing him how to pick great artists.This led the American footballer to ask about Drake – his protégé and one of the first signees on the Young Money/Cash Money label imprint – and why he receives so much criticism in the rap community.“He red,” Wayne replied, “he light-skinned.

“Selfish” — which dropped Thursday morning — finds the pop superstar getting in his falsetto feels over a smooth midtempo groove.“So if I get jealous, I can’t help it/I want every bit of you, I guess I’m selfish,” he sweetly croons in the chorus that proves that, even at 42, he still possesses some of that same boy-band charm that made us fall in love with him when he was a curly-haired teen heartthrob.Indeed, after Timberlake reunited with ’N Sync last fall for the “Trolls Band Together” bop “Better Place,” “Selfish” takes him back to the swoon-worthy sincerity of his boy-band days — long before he fell victim to cancel culture for his purported misdeeds with Janet Jackson (after their 2004 Super Bowl halftime performance) and ex Britney Spears.But while the song recaptures a kind of lost innocence, it also has some muted, moody beats — think Drake — and a hint of melancholy from an older soul.“Selfish” — which reteams Timberlake with longtime producer Timbaland, while bringing in new collaborators Louis Bell (Taylor Swift, Post Malone) and Cirkut (Maroon 5, The Weeknd) — is the first single from the singer’s upcoming sixth studio album, “Everything I Thought It Was,” due March 15.Timberlake also dropped the “Selfish” video, and like the song, it’s a more subtle, subdued affair than, say, “Filthy,” from his last LP, 2018’s “Man of the Woods.”It’s just Justin singing and vibing behind the scenes, proudly rocking the grays in his beard now.The clip — directed by Bradley J.

Drake has accused the media for “cashing out on negativity”.Earlier this week, the Canadian rap juggernaut shared a clip of retired American football coach Nick Saban talking about giving young people the space to recover, and allowing athletes second chances should they make a mistake.
