Drake is one of the most popular rappers in the world and has a close connection with UFC and its superstars. In the past, the Toronto native also collaborated with Conor McGregor at UFC 229. Years after that iconic event, it seems like both of them share a similar relationship
Drake recently did a live stream for Stake along with popular streamer Adin Ross. As expected this stream attracted millions of views as both the individuals talked about various things. One particular moment from the stream went viral when Drake mentioned that he’s dressed up like Conor McGregor.
Drake was wearing a suit and drew this similarly given that the ‘Notorious’ is well known for donning expensive suits. This also resulted in a hilarious back-and-forth between him and Adin Ross. At UFC 229, the millionaire rapper came to support McGregor when the ‘Mystic Mac’ got smashed by Khabib Nurmagomedov.

After witnessing an infamous post-fight brawl firsthand, Drake has rarely been spotted at UFC events since. Despite his absence from arenas, the superstar frequently places sizable bets on UFC fighters through online platforms. This habit gave rise to the term ‘Drake’s curse,’ as many fighters he backed ended up losing.

Both Drake and Conor McGregor faced significant challenges in 2024. Drake found himself embroiled in a hip-hop feud with Kendrick Lamar, contending with a wave of public allegations. Meanwhile, McGregor faced legal trouble, being ordered to pay $250,000 after losing a civil lawsuit involving rape accusations.
