Drake had an "embarrassing" moment during a recent livestream when he tried to gift a fan $500, only for the card he was using to get declined.

The "Rich Flex" rapper teamed up with the betting company Stake for a livestream event on Saturday that saw him give away $1 million to fans.

As he tried to gift one fan some money, however, the card was declined.

"Bro! Embarrassing," Drake said to his fellow rapper Lil Yachty, who was also involved in the livesteam.

Sharing a clip of the moment on Twitter, one fan wrote: "Drake's card just got declined on stream."

Drake joined Stake in December 2021 and has had mixed success using the platform to make several outrageously large bets.

In December, the Grammy winner lost $1 million betting on the 2022 World Cup final between Argentina and France, according to the Independent. Though he had successfully chosen Argentina to win, his bet was contingent on the match not going into overtime.

He also lost $400,000 after he bet on Jake Paul to knock out his boxing rival Tommy Fury during their fight in Abu Dhabi in February.

The same month, however, he pocketed $1.2 million after betting $700,000 on the Kansas City Chiefs to win Super Bowl LVII.

Most recently, Drake wagered $250,000 that the Denver Nuggets would beat the Miami Heat in five games in the NBA finals, which would net him $850,000 — the teams are currently tied at one game apiece after two games played.
