The Canadian rapper has gained notoriety for his infamous 'Drake Curse' due to his unfortunate betting history.
His past bets include a $615,000 wager on Francis Ngannou, who was ultimately knocked out by AJ in the second round.
However, he decided to take another gamble with a massive wager for the upcoming fight.
The 39-year-old took to his Instagram story to share his latest bet with his 142 million followers.
He placed an impressive $200,000 (£150,000) on Paul to pull off a shocking upset against the former heavyweight world champion, AJ.
If successful, the bet would have yielded a return of $1.64 million (£1.23 million).
Drake shared a screenshot confirming his bet with the caption: “Jakeyyyyy boy. Lock tf in.”
