Argentina defeated Canada in Tuesday’s Copa America semifinal to extend their hopes of clinching a record-breaking 16th Copa title—but first, they had to settle a matter with a certain rapper. 

Prior to the matchup, Canadian rapper and musician Drake bet $300,000 on his country to beat Argentina, and he threw in a bad “Messi” pun to boot.

Drake’s wild wager didn’t go unnoticed. After Argentina’s 2-0 win, the club’s social media account posted a picture of Lionel Messi and his teammates celebrating the victory along with the caption, “Not Like Us,” the title of Kendrick Lamar’s now-world-famous diss track directed at his rap rival, Drake.

So if you haven’t heard, Drake put a $300k bet on Canada to beat Argentina in the Copa America semifinal, and it went about as you’d expect. https://t.co/1iQkVU1qpS

Argentina will play either Colombia or Uruguay in the Copa America final on Sunday in Miami.

Canada will play a third-place consolation match to cap off their tournament, and following his latest double-pronged humiliation, Drake may be better off keeping his money in the bank for that one.
