Argentina has hit out at music artist Drake after the Canadian lost $300,000 on a bet that his country would beat the defending champions in Tuesday's Copa America semi-final, using rap rival Kendrick Lamar's song to send a message.
Drake posted an image on Instagram showing his bet would have earned him a $2.88 million payout if Canada won, but goals from Julián Álvarez and Lionel Messi took Argentina to its fourth final in five editions.

The World Cup winners responded to Drake's post with a photo accompanied by the caption: “Not like us,” the title of a song released by Lamar in May that criticized the Canadian artist and has been played nearly 500 million times on Spotify.
The music video has over 115 million views on YouTube after both rappers released several solo tracks taking aim at each other.
Argentina is seeking its 16th Copa America title and will play either Uruguay or Colombia in Sunday's final.
