Drake has gone on a high-stakes gambling roulette run in celebration of his recent record-setting Hot 100 win. Yesterday, the Canadian rapper placed his 30th song within the top five of the Billboard Charts, achieving the feat through his recent Lil Baby and DJ Khaled-assisted track, ‘Staying Alive’.
In reaching the milestone, Drake broke a chart record previously set by The Beatles, usurping the 60s band’s previous 29-song presence within the top five. To celebrate the occasion Drake, a known online gambler — later celebrated the record by going on a roulette spree, streaming his gambling session on Twitch.

All of Drake’s bets were placed on the online crypto betting platform, Stake, whom he partnered with in March of this year. Sharing the gains to his Instagram, Drake revealed that he’d won some $5,130,000 million in Bitcoin, addressing the cryptocurrency network in his accompanying caption. “Ok I broke my records for the month,” the rapper wrote, “now me and Stake need you to do your thing Bitcoin.”
Drake’s substantial crypto haul comes just weeks after the rapper won — and promptly lost — nearly $25 million during a similar livestream gambling session in July. He was joined by fellow rapper French Montana, and dolled out individual sums of $25,000 to viewers across the globe. Elsewhere, Drake recently sold his Hidden Hills mansion for $12 million.
