We are now just days away from Super Bowl LVII, the biggest game of the NFL season that’s going down this weekend on February 12. The Kansas City Chiefs are taking on the Philadelphia Eagles for the league championship, and Drake (a frequent high-stakes gambler) has picked who he thinks is going to win… or at least which team he has put nearly $1 million in bets on.

On Instagram yesterday (February 9), Drake showed off a series of bets he made on the big game, including putting $700,000 on the Chiefs to win. HE also bet on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster to score touchdowns, and for Travis Kelce to win the game’s MVP award. In total, he placed $960,000 in bets.

Drake wrote alongside his post, “My psychotic bets for Sunday are in @stake [fingers crossed emoji] [smiling devil emoji] pls do not analyze the logic behind these bets there is none [face blowing smoke emoji].”

Believe it or not, this is actually lighter than Drake went on bets for last year’s Super Bowl: For the 2022 game, he placed $1.26 million million in wagers.

Meanwhile, he recently bet on Argentina to win the World Cup, and while they did win, Drake actually lost his bet thanks to some fine print.

Drake Ordered To Sit Down For Deposition In XXXTENTACION Murder Case

by

For months, a lawyer of one of the co-defendants accused of murdering XXXTENTACION has attempted to rope Drake into the case. It began a few months ago when the prosecutors and defense attorneys submitted a potential witness list. The defense attorney for Dedrick Williams, Mauricio Padilla, listed a number of celebrities with known relationships and feuds with XXXTENTACION, including Quavo, Offset, Joe Budden, and Drake. Still, Broward County Judge Michael Usan didn’t initially think Drake’s presence was necessary in this case.

The prosecutors never suggested Drake had involvement in X’s death, though Padilla’s frequently pushed the theory that the Her Loss rapper was never investigated for the crime. “Before X died, he said, ‘If anybody kills me, it’s Drake.’ Do you think sitting here years later, any detective has ever asked Drake or anybody like that? No,” Padilla said during opening statements, per Complex. “This is one of the biggest celebrities in the world. Excluding an order from this court, we all know that I will never be able to take his deposition.” 

Judge Grants Motion To Depose Drake

Per Rolling Stone, a judge granted Padilla’s petition for an “order to show cause.” This means Drake will now have to sit down for a deposition, scheduled for Feb. 24th, which will take place through Zoom, per Billboard. “If deponent Aubrey Drake Graham does not appear to deposition he must appear before this court on Monday, Feb. 27, 2023 at 10 a.m. EST at so [sic] the court can determine why he should not be held in contempt,” the motion reads.

Padilla cited the post from X where he alleged that Drake was trying to kill him. However, X later recanted his statement, claiming he was hacked. Still, Padilla referenced how their beef escalated throughout X’s career, including commentary from Akademiks, who reportedly warned X that “although he did not believe that Graham was a violent person, Onfroy could be pushing him to retaliate.” Furthermore, the filing includes quotes from X’s mom, who said she asked the rapper’s relatives to accompany him to purchase a motorcycle due to his “ongoing battle with Drake and Migos.”

Drake reportedly must appear for a deposition or appear in court in the XXXTentacion murder trial.

Today (February 9) Rolling Stone obtained a court order filed by the defense attorney for Dedrick Williams, one of the three suspects. Attorney Mauricio Padilla reportedly submitted a possible alternative theory linking Drake to the murder of XXXTentacion, due to their rumored feud before XXXTentacion’s death.

The publication states that Padilla attempted to subpoena Drake last month, noting that Drake was served properly, however, didn’t show up for a deposition.

According to the court order, Drake must show up for deposition on Friday, February 24.

“If deponent Aubrey Drake Graham does not appear to deposition he must appear before this court on Monday, Feb. 27, 2023 at 10 a.m. EST at so [sic] the court can determine why he should not be held in contempt.”

During opening arguments that took place on Tuesday, February 7, Padilla cited an Instagram post shared from XXXTentacion’s Instagram account in February 2018.

“If anyone tries to kill me it was @champagnepapi [Drake’s Instagram handle]. I’m snitching right now,” read the Instagram post, which XXXTentacion later deleted and claimed was posted as his account was hacked.

At the time of writing, no actual evidence against Drake has been presented in court, however, Padilla has reportedly tried to subpoena several other artists, including Offset, Quavo, and 6ix9ine.

Drake Shares His “Psychotic” Super Bowl Bets

by

Drake is among those who are hoping to cash out this weekend following the Super Bowl. As it is every year, sports commentators and fans alike offer their predictions for who will win the big game. This year, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles will face off at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. It’s undoubtedly going to be an exciting game and it seems like there’s an influx of individuals who are hoping to win big on Sunday night. 

As sports betting reached a new high with Stake, Drake became the spokesperson for the online casino. Though it’s unclear what type of deal he has with the company, Drizzy’s frequently reveals his bets for a variety of sports. Last year, he lost out on $1M during the World Cup. The Canadian artist bet on Argentina to defeat France, which they did. However, a technicality surrounding overtime led Drake to lose out on seven figures. However, his luck appears to have been better in recent times.

Drake Banks On Kansas City Chiefs

Though some might argue that the Drake curse still lingers in the world of sports, the “Rich Flex” rapper clearly has no problems revealing which teams he supports. On Thursday afternoon, Drake revealed his bets for the Super Bowl which amount to over a million dollars. The rapper has $700K on the Kansas City Chiefs winning the game – including overtime – while banking on Patrick Mahomes to score the first touchdown. After winning a mill off of Chiefs during their game against the Bengals, Drake evidently has the utmost faith in Kansas City.

“My psychotic bets for Sunday are in @stake,” he captioned the post. “Pls do not analyze the logic behind these bets because there is none,” he added. If all of his predictions are right, then Drake is certainly getting to the bag. Surprisingly, Drake didn’t reveal whether he bet on Rihanna’s setlist for the halftime show. However, it wouldn’t be shocking if she ends up performing “Work” at some point. Drake appearing on stage with her to perform the song, however, seems highly unlikely. Check out Drake’s predictions above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Broward County Police Department Reportedly Refused To Investigate XXXTentacion’s Supposed Beef With Drake

The murder trial of the late rapper XXXTentacion (real name Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy) has been an emotional roller coaster for his surviving family and friends. Back in December, the potential witness list was released, and several notable musicians, including Drake, Quavo, and Offset, were present. However, as testimony has begun, shocking details have begun to be shared with the public.

Before XXXTentacion’s tragic murder in 2018, the Florida native wasn’t in the best space, with Drake speaking about it in several interviews and social media live streams.

According to information gathered by Billboard, Mauricio Padilla, a defense attorney representing one of the alleged parties involved with the murder, has used this public feud as a potential ulterior motive. This concern was raised to Prosecutor Pascale Achille and the Broward County office, but according to Padilla, the prosecutor’s office refused to investigate the claim any further.

“For Broward County, for everyone involved, this was a nightmare. That’s why they wanted no part with investigating a celebrity,” said Padilla.

However, prosecutors for Broward County have rejected these claims stating there has been no evidence linking Drake to the shooting. Padilla’s client Dedrick Williams is seen in the store’s surveillance video, recognizable through his distinctive facial tattoos, and was also identified by one of the clerks.

The trial will continue over the next few weeks before a jury is asked to deliberate on what has been presented.

Defense Attorney In XXXTENTACION Murder Trial Brings Up Drake Again

by

Drake and XXXTENTACION beef stems from the Florida rapper’s hit record, “LOOK AT ME!”. Shortly after the release of More Life, X accused Drizzy of stealing his flow on one of the songs. Some felt as though it was a reach but Akademiks later confirmed that X was on Drake’s radar at that point. So, it seemed highly likely that Drake took inspiration from X’s hit record, at the very least, when he dropped the Giggs-assisted, “KMT.” However, their feud didn’t end there.

Unfortunately, they never had the opportunity to bury the hatchet. X continued to throw shots at Drake who publicly ignored them. However, many fans believe Drake responded subliminally on records. This led to bizarre theories tying Drake to the murder of XXXTENTACION. Again, it seems like a reach but the defense attorneys for one of the alleged killers have tried to push this narrative several times in court. In fact, he asked the judge to demand Drake to sit down for a deposition ahead of the trial, which was later denied. 

Defense Attorney Blames Drake For XXXTENTACION’s Death

A defense attorney in the XXXTENTACION case that continues to accuse Drake of the Florida rapper’s murder. During the opening statements, attorney Mauricio Padilla stated that  Broward County Sheriff’s Office was under pressure to find the suspects since the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting happened months before. Though four men were arrested, Padilla said that authorities didn’t explore all of the potential suspects. Specifically, he mentioned X’s long-standing rival, Drake, due to the online tension between them.

Padilla cited a post on XXXTENTACION’s Instagram that read, “If anyone tries to kill me it was @champagnepapi.” Though X later claimed he was hacked, Padilla used this point to deflect the evidence surrounding his client. During the pre-trial, Padilla also brought up several other artists and celebrities on the potential witness lists. Along with Drake, Padilla mentioned Joe Budden, Offset, Quavo, and even 6ix9ine. It seems highly unlikely that any of these individuals will appear in court. We’ll continue to provide more updates on the trial of the suspects accused of murdering XXXTENTACION.
