After Canada’s victory, the bet officially hit, giving Drake a profit of roughly $231,000.
Ahead of the match, Drake playfully called out South African DJ Black Coffee while explaining why he increased the stakes.
“@realblackcoffee was chirping in the DM I had to raise the STAKES,” he wrote alongside a screenshot of the wager.
