Copa America: Argentina Claps Back After Drake’s $300k Bet Goes South
Argentina took a shot at music artist Drake after the Canadian lost $300,000 on a bet his country would beat the defending champions in Tuesday’s Copa América semifinal, using rap rival Kendrick Lamar’s song to send him a message.
Drake shared a picture of his wager on Instagram, which would have paid him $2.88 million if Canada prevailed. However, goals from Lionel Messi and Julián Álvarez sent Argentina to their fourth final in five editions.

The World Cup winners responded to Drake’s post with a photo accompanied by the caption: “Not like us,” the title of a ‘diss’ track released by Lamar in May which criticised the Canadian artist and which has been streamed nearly half a billion times on Spotify.
The music video has over 115m views on YouTube after both rappers released several solo tracks taking aim at each other.
