Drake’s Million-Dollar Gamble, UFC Losses and Neon Nights
Drake’s Million-Dollar Gamble, UFC Losses and Neon Nights
In a high-stakes turn of events, Drake finds himself on the losing end of a $700,000 bet as Dricus du Plessis clinches the middleweight title with a split decision victory over Sean Strickland at UFC 297. The South African fighter’s triumph marks the fourth instance of the middleweight title changing hands in recent bouts, leaving Drake in the lurch. Had Strickland successfully defended his title, Drake would have raked in a cool $1.4 million.
This isn’t the first time Strickland has cost Drake big bucks. In a shocking upset at UFC 293, Strickland defeated Israel Adesanya, causing Drake to lose $500,000. The potential winnings of $920,000 slipped through Drake’s fingers as Strickland pulled off what many consider the greatest upset in UFC middleweight history.
Amidst these financial setbacks, Drake is making waves in a different arena—literally. The hip-hop icon recently joined the “tripod bro” trend, sharing a neon-soaked vlog showcasing his nighttime routine. From mixing drinks and enjoying art to hitting the hookah and taking a midnight swim, Drake’s unconventional lifestyle is on full display. The vlog is soundtracked by “Virginia Beach,” a track from his 2023 album, For All The Dogs. The tripod bro trend, featuring male lifestyle vloggers documenting their daily lives, has gained significant traction in recent weeks.
Notably, Drake’s vlog includes subtle layers of messaging. By tagging lifestyle influencer Drew Walls, known for his Target adventures, Drake seems to be taking a jab at Yasiim Bey’s recent comment that Drake’s music is ideal for a Target run. The inclusion of the ambient “Virginia Beach” adds an intriguing twist, considering the recent criticism aimed at that particular style of Drake’s music. Fans are now eagerly anticipating Drake’s next move, hoping for a video that might just feature him embarking on a Target run.

Simone Biles Soars to Historic Sixth Gold, A Gymnastics Legend’s Golden Triumph
Simone Biles has etched her name into the history books once again, clinching her sixth Olympic gold medal in the women’s all-around final. This monumental achievement makes her the first American gymnast to reach such a pinnacle. Biles narrowly edged out Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, who took silver, and her teammate Suni Lee, who secured bronze.
At 27, Biles has become the oldest all-around Olympic champion since Maria Gorokhovskaya in 1952 and joins an elite group as only the third woman to win multiple golds in this event. Despite a hiccup on the uneven bars, Biles dazzled on the balance beam and floor, overcoming a confidence-shaking mistake. “I was praying to every single God out there trying to refocus and recenter myself,” Biles confessed, adding a touch of humor about her uneven bars performance.
The gymnastics star debuted a new silver GOAT necklace, a nod to her status as the Greatest of All Time, embracing both the adoration and criticism it brings. “It’s crazy that I am in the conversation of ‘Greatest of all athletes,’” Biles said, reflecting on her extraordinary journey from Spring, Texas to Olympic glory.
