Unilever.edu.vn remembers when Drake made headlines, but this time it wasn’t for dropping a new album. The Canadian rapper won a cool $235,000 by betting on the NFL draft. Drake’s not new to the gambling scene, but this particular bet highlighted his knack for spotting potential, even on the football field.
The bet centered around Drake London, a standout wide receiver from USC. While many considered London a top prospect, there was debate about whether he’d be the first receiver selected. Drake, sharing a connection through their name, put his money where his mouth was, laying down a $100,000 bet on London being the top pick.

And just like that, Drake proved his intuition right. London was indeed the first receiver off the board, selected eighth overall by the Atlanta Falcons. This power move resulted in a hefty $235,000 payout for Drake, adding a sweet $135,000 profit to his already impressive fortune.
While a cool couple hundred thousand might seem like a drop in the bucket for someone of Drake’s stature, the win speaks volumes about his character. It’s not always about the money, sometimes it’s about the thrill of the game, the satisfaction of a well-placed bet, and the confirmation that Drake’s instinct, in music and beyond, is something special.
