Prior to the game, however, Drake is believed to have placed a $300 000 (around R5.3 million) bet on Canada to win the match and trump through to the final.
That, however, was not the case. Argentina seemed to have actually taken offence by the Canadian rapper's bet, taking to social media to use Lamar's popular song 'Not Like Us' against him.

According to Forbes, Drake has a history on placing losing bets on big sport teams. The artist is believed to have lost nearly $2.5 million (R44 million) since March this year.
It has been suggested that he lost $1 million (R18 million) worth of bets in June alone after he bet $500 000 (R8.9 million) on the Edmonton Oilers to win the Stanley Cup, while risking the same amount on the Dallas Mavericks to win the NBA Finals, but neither of the bets went his way.
Some sports fans have even labelled his bets 'the Drake curse'.
During the two rappers' back-and-forth, Lamar accused Drake of having a gambling addiction on the 'Meet the Grahams'.
