He'll earn $2.88 million if his compatriots can pull off the upset in the Copa America semi-final, but it's highly unlikely

Bizarre news is everywhere around us, but this one probably tops them off.

Famous Canadian hip-hop star Drake placed a bet of $300K on his home country to defeat Lionel Messi's Argentina in the Copa America semi-final on Tuesday night!

If the underdogs, led by former Leeds United coach Jesse March, pull off this major upset, Drake will earn as much as $2.88 million.

Eight-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi probably disagrees with Drake's opinion, especially since Argentina are reigning world and Copa America champions.

Still, anything is possible in football, and Drake obviously dares to dream big. The Grammy Award-winning star joked that things "could get Messi".
