The Drake curse may have taken on a new level after the Toronto Raptors were bounced out of the first round of the NBA playoffs.
After Sixers big man Joel Embiid and Drake exchanged words following the Sixers overtime win in Game 3, “The Process” proclaimed he and his squad were coming for the sweep. Drake took in the game with his son Adonis and later got some digs in following the game, telling Embiid the Sixers were getting bounced in the second round by the Miami Heat and Drake’s friend Kyle Lowry. Although the sweep proclamation didn’t come true, the Sixers convincingly eliminated the Raptors on Thursday (April 28).
“Now y’all gon’ get swept by Miami,” Drake taunted the MVP candidate.
The sweep prediction may occur after Embiid suffered a right orbital fracture and a mild concussion in the waning moments of Game 6 as his team was up by 29. His status for the Heat series is up in the air and the news is another blow to a Sixers fan base desperate to not only make their first Eastern Conference final since the glory days of Allen Iverson, but also win their first NBA title since 1983.
Drake Gets Trash-Talked By Joel Embiid After 76ers Take 3-0 Playoff Lead Over Raptors
The mythical Drake curse has seen a select number of the 6 God’s favorite sports teams and players suffer humiliating losses. However, the phenomenon has taken on different heights thanks to Drizzy’s gambling exploits. After tossing down millions on Super Bowl LVI in February, he continued to up the ante, betting on Jorge Masvidal to win his UFC grudge match against Colby Covington – and losing $275K in the process but doubling up and throwing money behind the Golden State Warriors to win the NBA title in June.
Yep Drake is that one friend…loses a bet then says “now you’ll lose to this other team!” Gotta take the L if you trying to dish it.
Everytime I see a pic of Drake with his kid it reminds me of Pusha T. Time to play It’s Almost Dry again. Eeeyyyyck.
oh bless us drake you are a god amongst men.
Poor little rich kid he is going to grow up having everything, and I wish the little guy only the best. Yet when he grows up he is going to have a problem with his parents: his dad is a bogus flake of a man who has money but no respect. He doesn’t even know who he really is which is a mixed up man with talent. His mother is a garden tool, the little guy will be ridiculed by his peers. Most of his peers probably will not have the monetary status that he will have many will be jealous of him, and the only card they will have to play against him will be the brown cloud from his parents that will follow him throughout life. He will wish he was just an average kid with average parents.
Drake came out with his kid and supported Raps even though the team was down and facing Harden and Embiid. Good to see him repping for the six in the tough times
the way drake tries to portray his blackness is pathetic. ddudes whiter than white and never fucked with dad, but when it came to his raps he needed that black audience. so he got daddy to back him up with his blackness. dudes a clown
Drake parading his son around like the doting father but, truth is he’s only doing it to try and undo the damage Pusha T did to his image
