Topic / Subject
Kendall Jenner and Drake both went public with $1 million bets on the Patriots over the Seahawks, instantly feeding Super Bowl “curse” chatter online.

TL;DR
Two celeb million-dollar slips turned into free content for everyone: sportsbooks, meme accounts, and Seahawks fans who suddenly feel spiritually obligated to root for chaos.

Key Details

• Per PEOPLE, Drake posted a $1M wager on the Patriots to beat the Seahawks, sparking fresh “Drake Curse” jokes.
• Per Fox Business, Kendall Jenner said on “The Tonight Show” she’s backing the Patriots with a $1M bet tied to a Fanatics Sportsbook campaign.
• Per Sports Illustrated, the Fanatics/Jenner promo is framed as “Tail or Fade,” and includes a stated $1M donation component tied to the campaign.
• The viral claim that Kendall and Drake coordinated the “each bet $1M” moment isn’t documented beyond separate public posts/headlines.

Breakdown
This is what big-game week looks like now: the bets are part of the entertainment. A million-dollar slip isn’t just a wager — it’s a storyline, a screenshot, and a guaranteed trending topic.

Kendall’s angle is built for virality by design. “Tail or Fade” is basically a permission slip for the internet to pick a side, dunk on the other side, and then blame the outcome on “the curse” either way.

Drake’s bet adds the extra spice because the “Drake Curse” meme has its own fanbase at this point. People don’t just want the slip — they want the mythology. That’s how you get neutral fans rooting for Seattle “out of spite,” because the meme demands a sacrifice.

The only thing to keep straight: two million-dollar bets doesn’t automatically mean coordination. Right now it’s two separate celebrity betting headlines that the internet stitched into one mega-narrative.

What to Watch Next

• Whether more celebrities jump into the “post your slip” Super Bowl content cycle.
• If Fanatics leans harder into “Tail or Fade” with additional promos or donation updates.
• Any follow-up from Drake or Kendall if the memes swing hard after the final score.
