Canadian Rapper Drake has staked an amazing $300,000 on his nation to win the Copa America semifinal against Argentina.
On Tuesday, July 9, Argentina and Canada will engage in a tread-the-treacle match at MetLife Stadium.
Messi, who has only scored one goal in the campaign, will try to motivate his team to defeat Canada.
To keep their title, Argentina will try to win the Copa America semifinals two straight times.
After losing to Argentina in their opening match, Canada tied Chile in a draw and then defeated Peru 1-0 in the quarterfinals.
Subsequently, they defeated Venezuela 4-3 on penalties, with their match concluding 1-1 beyond regular time.
Using an Instagram story screenshot, he made the wager on Stake.
If Argentina lost, he would be compensated with an estimated $2,880,000.00.
Drake said, "This could get Messi @stake," as a caption for the photo.
