Roma seems to be kidding, but the rapper is leaving a trail of losses in his wake as he tours Europe.
Rapper Drake watched his ex, Serena Williams, compete at Wimbledon last year. By Cindy Boren Cindy Boren Reporter covering sports, with an emphasis on politics and national stories Email Bio Follow April 17 at 9:41 AM Whenever Drake shows up to root for an athlete or a team, it’s a mixed bag. Sure, the rapper brings star power, but he also may be a jinx because he happens to have been present when disaster has befallen those he cheers on. Just ask the Toronto Raptors. Or Serena Williams.
Now one team will take a strong measure to make sure it won’t become the latest Drake dud. AS Roma, the Italian soccer club, has banned players from socializing with him as it hopes to qualify for a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League competition. It has good reason for its decision, with the winner getting up to $75 million in prize money. Roma is fifth in Serie A play and must finished fourth or better to qualify for the Champions League.
“All Roma players banned from taking photos with Drake,” it announced on Twitter, “until the end of the season.”— AS Roma English April 15, 2019 Roma made the announcement Monday, after Paris Saint-Germain’s Layvin Kurzawa posed for a photo with the Canadian rapper and lost 5-1 to Lille in its next game. Instead of wrapping up a Ligue 1 title with a victory, PSG suffered its worst league loss in 19 years.
You couldn’t really blame Roma, even if it were serious. As the BBC pointed out, Manchester United lost to Wolverton in the FA Cup shortly after Paul Pogba posed for a snapshot with Drake after his Manchester Arena show. Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang attended one of Drake’s shows at the O2 in London and we don’t have to tell you what happened the following weekend against Everton.
Man U’s Spanish Twitter account attempted to cast the Drake stinkeye onto Barcelona, tweeting a photo of the rapper wearing one of its shirts.— Manchester United April 16, 2019 It didn’t work. Barcelona won the Champions League quarterfinal, 3-0.
