The Leafs lost again, and no one is surprised, except maybe Drake, who placed a million-dollar bet on the team to take Game 7 against the Florida Panthers last night (May 18).
Despite throwing his own cursed name behind the high-stakes game, Drake is instead shifting the blame for his team's blunder to Justin Bieber, who was in attendance during the Scotiabank Arena-held 6–1 loss.
After taking to his Instagram Stories to let his followers decide whether or not to bet on the Leafs' advancement, opting to let the people decide whether he should "fire it up" on a Stake wager, Champagne Papi returned to the social platform after the game to point to the "Bieber curse..."
Bieber himself has not responded to the accusation; however, he was among the few in the Toronto crowd suspiciously wearing red instead of his team's signature blue. What was the strategy there?
For what it's worth, the Biebs previously showed his support for the perhaps self-cursed team, saying, "This year we made it farther than we have in so long and I'm happy about that." He added, "I can be patient cuz I know this is the team to do it."
