Drake, who is known to have a long-time crush on Serena Williams, came to the U.S. Open on Sept. 11 to show his support to the tennis player. But Williams astonishingly lost to Roberta Vinci in the semi-finals. This is considered as her first-ever loss in 39 major semi-finals and Serena's quest for a grand slam is over. Fans, who can't blame either Williams or Vinci, are looking for someone else to blame. According to SB Nation, enraged fans took to twitter and blame Drake for Serena's loss.
Most of the tweets are directed at Drake. One fan tweeted, "Drake what have you done." The @unfoRETTAble also tweeted, "I am so depressed, I want to Blame Drake #SerenaIsStillMyHero #VinciWasPhenomenal." And another angry fan says, "Drake is Trash." Those are just some of the tweets from the angry fans.
Does Drake, 28, really carry a curse? He is reported to have caused his own favorite team, the Toronto Raptors, to lose in the first round of the playoffs in 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 seasons, according to Hollywood Life. Moreover, Drake is also a big fan of the Kentucky Wildcats. Surprisingly they lost in the Final Four of the 2015 NCAA tournament after being undefeated for the entire season. Serena, The Toronto Raptors and the Kentucky Wildcats all seemed to have been jinxed by the rapper. No wonder why another fan said on twitter, "This is why Drake needs to stay away from sports events. Stick to music. That's it."
Drake bearing some kind of a curse may sound a bit crazy but the coincidences stated above suggest he could be bad luck for sports. Recently, Serena Williams was reported to have received from Kim Kardashian some good advice on Drake. What would the new BFFs talk about the next time they meet? What would Kim K. say about Drake's jinx?
