Ouch.

Drake, Drizzy, Drizzy Drake, Aubrey Graham … whatever you want to call him, the rap megastar lost a ton of money over the weekend, going 0-2 in his Final Four bets. Placing a loaded parlay on both of the Saturday games, Drake put up $250,000 total.

If his bets had won, he would’ve received a whopping estimated payout of $1.5 million, but unfortunately for Drizzy, things went disastrously. He backed both of the South Florida teams in Miami and Florida Atlantic, doing so on the money line.

Just a rough night for Drake.

Man … Saturday was a major blow for me, as well. I took three major L’s when it came to my sports fandom — Miami losing to UConn, Florida Atlantic getting defeated by San Diego State and The Usos dropping the tag team championships to Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens (ew).

But hey, at least I can say I didn’t lose $250,000. Lord have mercy.

I looked it up, and Drake reportedly has a net worth of $250 million, and with how successful his music is and the amount of endorsements he has, I’m sure that mountain of cash will only get higher, so he can handle the losses. Wow, it must be nice. (RELATED: Victor Wembanyama Pulls Off Absolutely Insane Dunk (And This Is Exactly Why He’s Expected To Go No. 1 In NBA Draft)

Like seriously, it must be nice to be able to just drop $250,000 on a pair of basketball games, and if you do win, you get a payout of $1.5 million.

Lifestyles of the rich and famous, man.
