'Drake, can you not?' @champagnepapi getting a bad rap from sports fans
The curse of Drake rolls on as teams he cheers for keep losing
A motivational video Canadian rapper Drake filmed on New Year's Day is the reason Alabama lost to Clemson in the NCAA national championship on Monday night.
At least according to some college football fans.
In the video, Champagnepapi, as he's known on Instagram, is in the gym with his personal trainer wearing a University of Alabama sweatshirt.
The Tide then posted the video to their own Twitter account, presumably for good luck.
Innocent enough, right? So you'd think.

So much for that. It's been well documented what happens when Drake takes a side.

Toronto Raptors fans take note.
Drake has been the Toronto Raptors global ambassador for more than five years and they have yet to win a championship.
And Kawhi Leonard did recently get featured on the rapper's Instagram, so stay tuned.
