Rapper Drake won big - and he's admitting that it was with the aid of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
Drake Wins Millions By Betting on 'Taylor Swift'
The rapper, who supported the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, expressed some sort of gratitutde to Taylor Swift before collecting his rewards, was rewarded with a massive seven-figure sum.
The well-known musician is known for wagering enormous amounts of money on major sporting events; he frequently supports the UFC.
This Sunday's Super Bowl LVIII was another occasion on which Drake bet heavily, as Daily Mail UK reported.
The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in a wild overtime conclusion to win their second straight Super Bowl and third in five years.
Drake was just one of several punters who profited from the Chiefs' unprecedented success, which was led by Patrick Mahomes to the NFL's championship game.

Following the game, Drake celebrated by filming himself with his winnings. He did this while watching the action from a posh apartment and disclosed he had profited greatly from Kansas City's triumph.
The 37-year-old wagered £910,000 for the Chiefs to win, and the A-list celebrity won thanks to a late score from Mecole Hardman Jr.
As a result, Drake earned £1.86 million and appeared to be having a good time, while Super Bowl winners celebrated their historic victory by traveling to Las Vegas.
Drake gave Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of Kansas City player Travis Kelce, a shoutout when she was in Vegas to attend the event.
Everyone knows now that Taylor Swift is an avid NFL fan because of Travis Kelce and a global music sensation.
"I can't bet against the Swifties [Taylor Swift fans]',"Drake remarked, elucidating his decision to back the Chiefs over the 49ers.
Rapper Gives Cancer Patient $50,000 USD
The Canadian has accurately predicted the Super Bowl winner for the second year in a row. As Kansas City defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 in Arizona last year, he took home slightly over £500k.
Drake is a known generous artist though. Through the years, he has spent on causes like no rapper had.
Case in point, Drake's It's All a Blur Tour - Big as the What? stopped in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Friday, February 16, and he put on an amazing concert. Drizzy handed a fan money during his show in appreciation for her complimentary remarks about his music.
On Saturday, February 17, a video of the 6 God stopping his act to give the audience a motivational speech surfaced on YouTube.
Then, the well-known Toronto rapper noticed a fan holding up a placard that said, "Your music helped me get through cancer." Moved by the note, Drake assured the cancer patient he would provide $50,000.
"You go somewhere. You can go see another Drake show if you want," he said in the clip, which can be viewed below. "And I appreciate that. I appreciate the sentiment. It's love," he added.
Drake has previously given gifts or cash to his fans during his performances. While on his 2023 It's All a Blur Tour with 21 Savage, the philanthropic rapper gave $50,000 to a man who had broken up with his girlfriend and a $30,000 Birkin bag to a fan.
