Fear not, sports fans.
The Drake Curse is alive and well and appears to have targeted Logan Paul this time around.
The superstar rapper is known for leaving chaos and destruction in his wake after he either bets on or roots for a new team.
But when the Denver Nuggets won the NBA Champions in July, some feared the curse had been lifted.
Not so fast, my friend!
Drake recently placed an $850,000 bet on Logan Paul to defeated Dillon Danis in their boxing match on Saturday in Manchester, England.

“Never bet against personal vendetta and settling scores,” he said while sharing the bet on his Instagram account.
But his bet may have backfired almost immediately.
Paul and Danis got in an altercation at Thursday’s press conference that left Paul with a swollen face before the fight even takes place.
“Dillon can’t escape me. The fight is very much happening, the stakes just got higher,” Paul then tweeted.
We’re certainly no experts, but having a swollen face before stepping into a boxing ring with someone seems like a bad start.
Though we also understand Drake’s point of view.
Danis, who has a history of his own of ducking fights, has spent the entire lead up to the fight insult Paul’s fiancee, Danish model Nina Agdal.
The harassment got so bad that Agdal filed a restraining order against Danis and sued him for posting private, explicit pictures.
“She says as part of the post, Danis threw up a sexually explicit image of her that was taken from ‘a romantic encounter’ she had had with a person more than 10 years ago,” TMZ reported.
“Danis posted the photograph — entirely uncensored — from his X (Twitter) account, without Plaintiff’s consent,” Agdal wrote in the suit. “Later that day, Danis reposted the explicit photograph in order to maximize the number of views it would receive.”
The 31-year-old model claims Danis only agreed to delete it after Misfits Boxing — the org. behind the Oct. 14 Danis vs. Paul tilt — threatened to cancel the fight unless he took it down.
Agdal added in the suit that many of Danis’ other posts have upset her … including a tweet he made on Aug. 28 that she says showed a video of her from more than six years ago where she talked about “her desire for intimacy during a period of celibacy.”
So yeah, it’s personal.
But maybe not personal enough to override the power of the Drake curse.
