ARSENAL fans fear their title challenge could be undone by rapper Drake.

That’s after the superstar was pictured wearing a Gunners jersey – prompting talk of an imminent CURSE.


Canadian rapper Drake is a huge sports fan and is often spotted linking up with the world’s top athletes.

However, some reckon the musician is actually a bad luck charm.

That’s because numerous athletes and teams who associated with Drake saw their sporting ambitions quickly collapse.

Indeed, the “Drake Curse” has worked its way through basketball, tennis, NFL, UFC and boxing.

And earlier this year, Drake’s mega-money bet on F1 star Charles Leclerc to win the Spanish Grand Prix resulted in Ferrari’s driver suffer an engine failure mid-race.

Meanwhile, teams including Manchester City and PSG recorded heavy defeats after linking up with Drake.

Drake placed a massive bet on Barca to win the game too.

His £500,000 gamble also included Arsenal to beat Leeds, which they did only by the skin of their teeth.

But Gunners fans fear the worst after Drake was later pictured wearing a club jersey.

Arsenal are currently four points clear at the top of the Premier League table and looking to win their first title since 2004.

However, some loyal Gooners reckon Drake’s latest appearance in an old-school shirt from the 2005/06 season could be enough to end their dreams.

One declared: “Bro needs to stop wearing our shirt. Going to give us more curses.”

Another said: “He’s trying to stop us from winning the league with the Drake Curse.”

One boomed: “He needs to take it off.”
