Drake has been criticised by Nigerians who feel that he is to blame for Isreal Adesanya's defeat by Dricus du Plessis.

Drake suffered a great deal following Adesanya’s loss to Du Plessis at UFC 305's main event at the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia.

The Canadian rapper staked a massive amount of money worth ₦720 million (approximately $450,000) on Israel Adesanya to defeat Dricus du Plessis in the UFC 305 main event.

However, Adesanya lost the bout which led Nigerians to blame Drake for placing a bet on the Style Bender.
