Drake is getting real about gambling.

The Grammy-winning entertainer, 38, took to Instagram Stories on Wednesday to recap an awful stretch he’s endured as a bettor, losing an astounding $8 million over the past month. 

‘Gotta share the other side of gambling…’ the rapper wrote. ‘Losses are so fried right now… I hope I can post a big one for you soon cause I’m the only one that has never seen a Max these guys Max once a week

The Toronto native, whose full name is Aubrey Drake Graham, detailed his wagering plans set around Thursday’s NBA Finals Game Six, pitting the Indiana Pacers against the Oklahoma City Thunder. 

As it stands, the Thunder, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren, are a victory away from claiming the NBA crown with a three-two series lead, coming off a 120-109 win Monday.
