Drake is one of the biggest artists in the world and he's also a huge sports fan on top of it all. The Canadian artist can be seen repping his favorite teams' merch at any given time. The only problem with this though is that every time he dawns a team's jersey, they end up losing. This has resulted in what people call the "Drake curse." The curse recently manifested itself when Drake took a picture with a member of the soccer team Paris Saint-Germain. After the photo, the team lost 5-1 in their worst defeat in ten years.

Last night, the curse happened again as Drake supported his hometown Toronto Maple Leafs who are currently in their first-round matchup of the NHL Playoffs against the Boston Bruins. Drake was in his own private lodge where he was wearing a Maple Leafs jersey. As you can imagine, the Leafs lost the game by a score of 6-4. Thanks to the loss, the series is now tied at two games apiece and will be heading back to Boston for game 5.

Fans took to Twitter to joke about the "Drake curse" and how they're sick of him jinxing their favorite teams. Perhaps after this recent loss, Drake will finally get the message.
