Canadian rapper Drake has reportedly lost ₦296 million after betting on Jake Paul to defeat former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in their much-talked-about boxing fight in Miami.
The fight took place in the early hours of Saturday, December 21, in the United States, where Anthony Joshua showed clear control from start to finish.
The experienced boxer overpowered Jake Paul and ended the fight with a knockout in the sixth round.
Joshua’s skill and ring awareness made the difference as he sent Paul to the canvas twice in the fifth round.
He followed up with heavy punches in the next round, forcing the referee to stop the contest after Paul failed to recover.
Before the fight, Drake had publicly revealed that he placed a $200,000 bet on Jake Paul through his Instagram page, showing confidence in the YouTuber-turned-boxer ahead of the clash.
He wrote: “Jakeyyyyy boy, lock tf in”
If Paul had won the fight, the rapper was expected to walk away with over $1.6 million, which is more than ₦2 billion.
With Joshua’s victory, Drake’s wager ended in another loss, adding to his long list of unsuccessful sports bets.
Earlier this year, the rapper also reportedly lost ₦451 million after staking money on Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner at the US Open.
Nigerian singer Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has revealed why he broke up with his ex-girlfriend, claiming that she was “quite manipulative”.
In an interview with YouTuber Korty EO, Rema said the relationship was “beautiful” but not always peaceful.
The singer lamented that sometimes when he returns home hoping to rest from the pressure of the outside world, his then girlfriend often greeted him with chaos.
He said he eventually walked away when he could no longer tolerate her excesses.
“My romantic relationship was beautiful but a little quite manipulative. So much pressure. Knowing the world puts so much pressure on me but coming back home is where you want to feel relieved but when you come back home and you are getting more pressure, it’s a different story. For now, I’m done,” he said.
Actress Regina Daniels revealed that she has emotionally stepped away from marriage but still hopes to have a daughter.
Speaking during a livestream with TikTok personality Jarvis, Daniels reflected on motherhood and relationships.
She revealed she has not seen her children since last year, though she remains hopeful they will reunite soon.
The mother of two explained that for personal reasons, she no longer envisions remarrying.
However, she expressed a strong desire to have a baby girl. According to her, raising a daughter offers a deeper connection to motherhood.
Daniels said having a female child brings a different and more profound understanding of being a mother.
“The last time I saw my children was last year. I know one day, I’ll see them again, very soon. But for some reason I have checked my mind out of getting married but I’m yet to have a girl and I must have a girl child. I feel like you’d understand motherhood better when you have a girl child”, she said.
In October last year, she parted ways with her husband, Ned Nwoko, following a public disagreement.
Popular Nigerian Afrobeat musician, David Adeleke, also known as Davido, has raised alarm over an alleged plot to deregister Accord party ahead of the forthcoming governorship election in Osun State.
The singer made the claim a post on X on Thursday.
Why questioning reasons for the deregistration, Davido called for free and fair election.
He wrote; “Deregister Accord party for what? Cowards let’s go to the field.”
This is coming 48 hours after the singer called out Gboyega Oyetola, the minister of Marine and Blue Economy, and the immediate past governor of the state over alleged desperate plan.
Recall that Osun State’s current governor and Davido’s uncle, Ademola Adeleke, announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in December 2025 following the party’s national leadership crisis and legal dispute and joined Accord Party for his re-election.
The Osun State governorship election is scheduled for August 15, 2026.
