A Complete History Of The ‘Drake Curse’ And Its Victims
The “Drake Curse” is the uncanny, cosmic-seeming phenomenon you may have heard about in which Canadian rapper and pop culture omnipresence Drake roots for a professional sporting entity (team and/or individual) and they, regardless of circumstance, inevitably lose. I am no scientist. I am merely a humble journalist working to document truths. And the truth is: If you have any interest in winning the thing, you should keep Aubrey Drake Graham as far away from your team/athlete/life as humanly possible.
Ahead of Drake’s beloved Toronto Raptors’ pivotal Game 5 showdown with the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals, I’ve compiled a comprehensive list of every time the “Drake Curse” has struck.
Serena Williams
To find the curse’s origin, we must trip all the way back to 2015. That year one of the greatest professional athletes of all time, Serena Williams, was having one of the greatest professional athletic years of all time. The 34-year-old was en route to winning all four of the year’s Grand Slam tournaments, a feat that only two women in history had ever accomplished before her. In January, she handily defeated rival Maria Sharapova in the final of the Australian Open. In June, she ran through the competition at the French Open. By the time Williams raised the trophy at Wimbledon in July, after only dropping two sets the entire tournament, her victory at the US Open at the end of the summer was all but a foregone conclusion.
The tennis star was first spotted canoodling with the Canadian rapper that summer. Heading into the US Open rumors of the pair being an item were swirling. As he is want to do, Drake very much leaned into those rumors (see above tweet). Naturally, Drake was in attendance at the US Open for Williams’s semi-final match against 300-1 underdog Roberta Vinci. Improbably, Williams lost that much. Thus, ending her historic Grand Slam streak and birthing the Drake curse.
Johnny Manziel and Andrew Wiggins
Concurrent with Drake’s spiking of Serena’s 2015 Grand Slam hopes was a pair of quieter, slower-burning curses. In the spring of 2014, Drake released a song titled “Draft Day.” On its chorus he raps, “Draft day, Johnny Manziel / Five years later how am I the man still / Draft day, A. Wiggins / Fuck that other side b*tch we stay winnin’.” The song’s Soundcloud artwork features a black-and-white photo of aforementioned Manziel flanked by two women, each of whom appears to be just wearing their bras and are giving a grinning Manziel a kiss on each cheek.
At the time of the song’s release, Manziel was a college football sensation. His logic-defying displays of athleticism and unconventional playing style as the quarterback for Texas A&M University made him a highly-touted and very controversial NFL Draft prospect.
The chorus’s other protagonist, Canadian basketball player Andrew Wiggins, had just finished a stellar freshman year at Kansas University and was preparing to enter the NBA Draft.
Since the song’s release, both athletes’ careers have taken unexpected turns for the worse. Wiggins came out of the gate strong. After being drafted as the No. 1 overall pick, the 6’ 8” forward went on to play in all 82 of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ games, posted an impressive 16.9 points per a game, and was named the NBA’s Rookie Of The Year. Since then, however, the 6’8” forward hasn’t quite lived up to fans’ monumental expectations of him. His struggling T’Wolves have only made the playoffs once in his tenure there.
Perhaps because of his closer tie to Drake (around the time of the song’s release, the young quarterback was spotted hanging out with the rapper on various occasions and even got the insignia for Drake’s OVO crew tattooed on his wrist), Manziel’s fall from grace was far more swift. The Texas-native was selected with the 22nd overall pick in the NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. After two seasons of sporadic playing time, subpar performance, and a slew of off-the-field issues, the 24-year-old player was let go by the team in 2016. He hasn’t played in the NFL since.
A.S. Roma - On April 15, 2019, the club account jokingly tweeted "All Roma players banned from taking photos with Drake until the end of the season."
At the end of each book, there are dance tips and instructions for readers to try out the dances themselves. The main idea of the Rainbow Magic Dance Fairies series is to promote a love for dance and spark the imagination of young readers. The colorful and magical world created by the Dance Fairies allows children to explore their creativity and develop a passion for dance..
