Roma, Do You Love Me? Italian Team Bans Photo Ops With Rapper Over ‘Curse’

On Monday, Italian soccer team AS Roma tweeted that the team’s players were “banned from taking photos” with Canadian hip hop star Drake “until the end of the season.” The ban is a response to the Drake “curse”: a years-long streak of losses for individual athletes and teams shortly after Drake has publicly supported them.

Last week, Layvin Kurzawa, a player for French soccer team Paris Saint-German, posted a picture with the singer to his Instagram account. On Sunday, the team suffered a humiliating defeat to the LOSC, a local team based out of Lille, France.

​Aubrey Drake Graham, better known as Drake by his fans, first shot to fame when he starred in the Canadian TV show "Degrassi: The Next Generation" from 2001 to 2009. More recently, the singer-songwriter has broken multiple records and won Grammy awards for his hit singles like "Hotline Bling" and "God's Plan."
