THE DRAKE CURSE IS FINALLY OVER
Exciting sports games caused the emergence of funny rituals among fans, giving them a stronger hope that their favorite teams will win.
By the same logic, however, many fans believe that some people or places always bring bad luck to their teams.
The greatest example is the rapper Drake who is believed to bring bad luck to the teams he supports. There were many times that the favorite teams expected to win were defeated upon Drake’s support messages.
This curse was prevalent in football. Every time the team players of Arsenal, Manchester and Paris Saint-Germain took pictures with the rapper, the teams were doomed.
During Champions League, the players of Manchester City appeared alongside Drake during his concert at Manchester. Shortly after that, they lost to Tottenham Hotspur.
During the same gig, Arsenal’s striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was also present. This was believed to be the reason behind the defeat of Arsenal by Everton.
Jadon Sancho, who was praised for his outstanding performance in Dortmund – came across Drake and took a picture with him.
During the match against Bayern Munich played three weeks after the incident, Dortmund received a massive defeat of 5-0. These are only some examples amongst tens of incidents.

The Canadian NBA team, the Toronto Raptors, perhaps suffered the most as the Canadian rapper never gave up speaking out about his support.
In 2013, Drake became an ambassador for the team. The following six years witnessed a noticeable decline in the team.
