Rapper Drake accepts Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist onstage during the 2016 American Music Awards at Microsoft Theater on November 20, 2016 in Los Angeles, California.

That's light change for Drizzy.

After arriving nearly an hour late to his club performance at DAER nightclub in Atlantic City, Drake reportedly gambled away $200K at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino with his clique.

According to PageSix, Drake blew some big bucks during a trip to Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City. The rapper arrived an hour late, closer to 3.am, to DAER Nightclub for a club performance that was scheduled for 2 a.m. after his Philadelphia stop on the "Aubrey & The Three Migos" tour with Migos.

Sources said that Drake and his clique were heading to the strip club, Scores, inside of Hard Rock before changing their mind because it was packed. DJ Spade, Drake's affiliate, was reportedly spinning inside of the strip club.

According to Atlantic City sources, “Drake took one look and decided to go gambling,” before adding that, "He got the itch."

A spy said that Drake "stayed at the table” for the evening and claimed the rapper lost nearly $200K gambling that evening. However, Drake likely still had some dough left from his appearance earlier in the night.

Drake and his crew had the casino opening up their restaurant Sugar Factory after it closed. They created a massive drink in honor of the rapper titled, "The Drake." The drink was served in 60-ounce goblets and was made up of Virginia Black whiskey, peach puree, sweet tea, Sour Patch peach gummies, and cotton candy.
