UP-DATE: Joe Rogan to assist Drake fix the curse he has on ……..
Joe Rogan, renowned UFC commentator and a long-time voice of mixed martial arts, has humorously offered to help global rap superstar Drake with his so-called “curse” on sports events. The “Drake Curse” is a lighthearted but notorious trend in sports circles, where athletes or teams Drake publicly supports often suffer unexpected losses or poor performances.
The idea of the curse stems from numerous high-profile instances. For example, Drake was seen wearing an Anthony Joshua shirt before the boxer suffered a shocking defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr. Similarly, his associations with Conor McGregor before UFC 229, Serena Williams at the 2015 U.S. Open, and even soccer team Arsenal have all resulted in unfavorable outcomes for his picks. Fans have since joked that his support is an omen of bad luck.
During a recent podcast episode, Rogan addressed the “Drake Curse” with his characteristic blend of humor and insight. Rogan, who is no stranger to the intersection of sports, entertainment, and culture, playfully suggested he could help the Grammy-winning artist overcome the bad juju that seems to follow his predictions. Rogan quipped that Drake might need to “sage the octagon” or engage in some kind of spiritual cleansing to neutralize the curse.
While clearly a joke, Rogan’s suggestion reflects how the “Drake Curse” has become a viral cultural meme, transcending sports and entertainment. Drake himself has acknowledged the phenomenon, often leaning into the joke by poking fun at his “curse” in social media posts. Despite this, the rapper continues to enjoy his status as a major fan and supporter of various sports and athletes, often appearing at events or sharing his enthusiasm online.
For Rogan, the curse discussion offered a chance to riff on a pop culture topic while also acknowledging Drake’s genuine passion for sports. The UFC commentator, who is also a comedian and podcaster, frequently blends his analysis of MMA with humorous takes on broader cultural phenomena.
Whether or not the “Drake Curse” is real, it has certainly added an entertaining narrative to sports discussions. As Rogan joked about being the potential remedy, fans of both the UFC and Drake might hope that a collaboration between the two icons could reverse the streak of misfortune—and perhaps even give rise to a new meme: the “Rogan Remedy.”
