Drake lost $400k betting on Jake Paul in February, and this time his allegiance is with Nate Diaz ahead of his boxing bout vs. the ex-YouTuber in Dallas.
The rapper, who’s become notorious for his high-stakes sports bets, shared a bet slip on his Instagram story that showed he had risked $250k to win $1million on Diaz defeating Paul.
‘Jake is a dog but I can never bet against a Diaz brother that’s just how I was raised,’ he captioned the photo.
The Canadian chart-topper predicted Paul to beat Tommy Paul in the winter but proved to be incorrect.
Paul apologized after that fight for costing Drake a hefty sum but jokingly blamed the rapper for his loss in the ring.

Drake has become notorious for his high-risk sports bets, which he makes public to fans
‘F***, this is Drake’s fault,’ he said on February 26.
‘$400k is nothing to him. He’s won a lot more money betting on me before, so he’s probably about even now.’
Drake did manage to win $1.38million in April when Gervonta Davis defeated Ryan Garcia with a seventh-round knockout.
The ‘Search & Rescue’ artist risked $1million on that pick.
However, he also lost a ‘mere’ $45k total on three separate bets that (incorrectly) predicted which round Davis would win in.
Ahead of their fight on Saturday, Paul and Diaz exchanged verbal jabs at the weigh-in on Friday.

‘No matter how the fight goes, don’t forget, this motherf***er can’t really fight,’ Diaz said.
Paul responded some barbs of his own.
‘Tomorrow I’m dog walking that b****! I’m putting him on a leash and I’m sending him back to the cage!,’ he said.
Paul is 6-1 in his boxing career after losing to Fury in February.
Diaz, a UFC legend, will be making his pro boxing debut in the fight.
