Joe Rogan offers guidance to Drake amid the rapper’s mixed gambling record on UFC fights, expressing concern over significant losses during his podcast “Joe Rogan Experience.”
“I want to get a hold of Drake and talk to him about his fight picks. That m———— loses more money on fights … I want to call him up,” Rogan said, addressing Drake’s betting history that includes a $2 million loss on Israel Adesanya in 2022 and $355,000 on Mike Tyson’s recent defeat to Jake Paul.
Despite occasional wins, including a $1 million gain on Alex Pereira’s UFC 300 victory and $3.7 million from UFC London predictions, Drake’s pattern of losses sparked the “Drake curse” phenomenon among fans.
Rogan dismissed Drake’s successful bet on Jon Jones versus Stipe Miocic as obvious, suggesting the rapper needs strategic guidance for more challenging matchups. His offer to assist comes as Drake faces scrutiny over his high-stakes gambling habits.
The betting discussion emerges amid other Drake headlines, including allegations against Universal Music Group regarding Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us” and producer Scott Storch’s failed collaboration attempts.
“I really wanna work with Drake, but I’ve been roadblocked with Drake. I know Drake loves me and my production, but for whatever reason, I haven’t been able to,” Storch said, highlighting additional industry challenges.
A potential podcast appearance could address both betting strategies and music industry dynamics. Rogan’s expertise in UFC analysis, combined with Drake’s high-profile betting history, suggests an opportunity for meaningful discussion about responsible gambling in sports.
Drake’s gambling activities have attracted attention for both wins and losses, with documented bets ranging from six to seven figures. His engagement with UFC betting highlights growing intersection between entertainment, sports, and gambling.
The situation reflects broader concerns about celebrity gambling influence, with Drake’s public betting activities potentially impacting fan behavior. Rogan’s intervention offers perspective from someone deeply embedded in UFC culture.
As Drake continues placing high-stakes bets, Rogan’s expertise could provide valuable insight into fight analysis and more strategic betting approaches. The potential collaboration promises engaging discussion about sports betting’s role in entertainment culture.
