Lionel Messi’s Argentina wasted no time in teasing rapper Drake after his $300,000 bet against them in the Copa America semifinal failed on Tuesday night. Following their 3-0 victory over Canada to reach the final, the Argentine national soccer team posted a team photo on social media with the phrase “Not Like Us.” This phrase is a reference to Kendrick Lamar’s popular track “Not Like Us,” which recently helped settle a dispute between Lamar and Drake.
Drake had placed a substantial bet on his home country, hoping to win $2.88 million. However, Argentina’s win meant he lost the bet, leading to some playful backlash. Drake had humorously commented on the game beforehand, writing on his Instagram Stories, “This could get Messi.”
As Argentina prepares to face either Uruguay or Colombia in the Copa America final on Sunday in Miami, Drake finds himself the subject of viral attention once again, thanks to Lamar’s song and Argentina’s impressive performance on the field.
