Drake, a Canadian rapper, has included a Bitcoin BTC $117,641.99 reference in his latest song, What Did I Miss?, released on July 5.

In the first lines of the song, Drake compared the unpredictable nature of life to Bitcoin’s frequent price swings.

He pointed out that, just like Bitcoin’s price, things can be low one moment and high the next. The rest of the verse shows that he does not rely on others' approval and that he has grown used to unexpected outcomes, even if they still catch him off guard.

Drake has made headlines before for his interest in Bitcoin. In 2022, he wagered $1 million worth of Bitcoin on the Super Bowl matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams. The bet did not succeed, but it showed his willingness to use cryptocurrency in high-stakes situations.
