Drake, one of the wealthiest rappers in the world, recently increased his wealth by $1 million following Israel Mobolaji Adesanya’s victory over Jared Cannonier at the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Adesanya is a professional mixed martial artist (MMA) from New Zealand who was born in Nigeria (UFC).
After five rounds in the octagon, Adesanya reportedly defeated Cannonier by unanimous decision.
Drake, whose true name is Aubrey Drake Graham, placed a sizeable bet on him before the decisive battle, and he made him proud by winning.
Before the battle, the commercially successful rapper spoke with Adesanya on the phone to wish him luck and let him know that he was betting on him to win.
Drake was heard stating, “Bro, I already know what time it is. “You know, I hung a million lights.” He retorted that it was “a light mil,” in response to Adesanya’s objection to the quantity. He continued, “I had to shine a light mil on my brother. “A lock is a return on investment.”
I just want to wish you luck,” he continued in a later conversation. I love you, brother, you know that. You’re unique. You’ve changed, my brother. You have my undying affection and utmost respect. a great affection and regard.
Drake was quite relieved by the victory because he had previously lost all of his money on wagers on sporting events, including Manchester City’s match.
