The recording artist Drake claims to have lost millions this month from his gambling activities.

"The rapper shared a screenshot of his monthly betting tallies on social media, letting slip he had lost more than $8 million in the month leading to 19 June. He wrote below the numbers, ”Gotta share the other side of gambling. Losses are so fried right now.” The screenshot indicated Drake had wagered $50,255,270 in the previous week, $75,318,524 in the past fortnight, and $124,527,265 across the past month. His losses for the entire period came to a total of $8,235,686. The Hotline Bling artist has had gambling wins in the past."

Drake, it should be noted, is a spokesperson for the popular online gambling enterprise Stake.

Some of his own colleagues it seems are poopooing Drake's claims.

DJ Vlad offered this via Twitter:

"Drake is lying about taking $8M in losses on Stake. I spoke to someone high up in the gambling business about it. Drake is a part owner of Stake, so when he makes these public “bets” he is really just using house money to make them. This is proven by the odds never changing after making those bets. If those bets were real, the odds would shift. They don’t."

Folks on X (formerly known as Twitter) also questioned whether there isn't more to Drake's claims of multi million dollar gambling losses.

One person offered: "Stake's money. They pay him to gamble."

Another wrote: "Nothing beats a casino where you can own the house drizzy."

And this skeptical follower writes: "He didn’t lose it’s all marketing."

All of these comments seemed to represent the public sentiment.
