Drake's Other Ventures and Recent Losses

Beyond hairstyle controversies, the weekend was challenging for Drake on another front. He placed a substantial bet of $335,000 on Mike Tyson to win his boxing match against Jake Paul on Friday night in Las Vegas. With favorable odds at +285, a victory for Tyson would have netted Drake approximately $1 million. However, the bout concluded with Iron Mike losing by unanimous decision, although he earned $20 million for his participation.
