Drake took to Instagram late Saturday night and posted a screenshot of a $1.1 million bet on Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Bengals in the AFC Championship Game.

Drake also has recent history with Mahomes, the star Chiefs quarterback who will play on Sunday despite suffering a high ankle sprain in the divisional round against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
