'Drake Curse' on Baltimore Ravens?

While Drake hinted his support for the Ravens ahead of their NFL playoff fixture against the Tennessee Titans, fans are apparently nervous thinking the Ravens have been hit with the 'Drake curse'. Drake has recently become infamous for bringing bad luck to teams he has supported. The University of Alabama football team, University of Kentucky basketball team and Golden State Warriors have all lost big games after Drake has come forward to profess his admiration for the teams.

However, after Toronto Raptors beat the Warriors to clinch the NBA Championship in 2019, fans got a general idea that the 'Drake curse' has apparently been broken. That hasn't stopped Baltimore Ravens fans from being extremely nervous about their NFL playoff game. Ravens will face the Titans in the NFL Divisional Round on Saturday, January 11 (Sunday IST).
