"Remember when I tweeted this in June?" - DJ Vlad claims to have predicted the class action lawsuit against Drake in Missouri over illegal gambling

DJ Vlad recently commented on the class action lawsuit against Drake, streamer Adin Ross, and Stake, a cryptocurrency-based online casino, in Missouri over illegal gambling. For those uninformed, Missouri native Justin Killham filed the lawsuit against the rapper and the others on October 27, 2025, accusing the trio of engaging in “deceptive, fraudulent, and unfair” practices and claiming that the rapper used his celebrity status to “encourage impressionable users to gamble.”

On October 28, 2025, DJ Vlad took to X to react to the class action lawsuit, claiming to have predicted the legal trouble in an earlier tweet. He also noted that the lawsuit claimed the rapper never used his own money to bet on Stake, writing:

"Remember when I tweeted this in June? Now Drake is getting sued for people who took gambling losses while claiming that he never used his own money to bet."

Vlad had tweeted the post in question in June 2025, accusing Drizzy of lying about his $8 million loss while gambling. For context, the rapper claimed that he lost $8 million on sports betting at the time. According to Billboard, he took to Instagram Story to post a screenshot of his alleged losses, which also revealed that he had allegedly placed over $125 million in bets. The rapper's Instagram Story was captioned:

“Gotta share the other side of gambling…Losses are so fried right now I hope I can post a big win for you all soon cause I’m the only one that has never seen a max these guys max once a week.”

In a subsequent X post, Vlad questioned the validity of Drake's claims, alleging that the rapper disclosing his gambling history publicly meant he was using "house money" to place bets as a "part owner of Stake."

"I spoke to someone high up in the gambling business about it. Drake is a part owner of Stake, so when he makes these public “bets” he is really just using house money to make them. This is proven by the odds never changing after making those bets," he wrote.

Exploring the class action lawsuit against Drake

On October 27, Drake was sued as part of a class action lawsuit against him and Adin Ross for promoting Stake as a “harmless” social casino and allegedly receiving “unjust enrichment” from it while failing to disclose that it was a “highly addictive” and “unlawful gambling platform.”

The 34-page lawsuit, filed by Justin Killham at Jackson County Circuit Court, accused the online casino of indulging in "deceptive trade practices" that "inflicted severe harm on the vulnerable in Missouri," especially the youth and those prone to gambling addiction. The suit also accused the rapper of "glamorizing" the platform to his "impressionable fans," adding:

“Drake’s role as Stake’s unofficial mascot is quietly corrosive — he’s glamorizing the platform to millions of impressionable fans, many of whom treat his wild betting habits like gospel."

According to Rolling Stone, the lawsuit also claimed that the online casino promoted a dual currency system by bundling its virtual and supposedly non-redeemable “gold coins” with “Stake Cash." The "Stake Cash" can be used to make bets and cashed out as real money, with the lawsuit claiming that this practice was “a clear vehicle for real-money gambling.”

Furthermore, the suit alleged that neither the rapper nor Adin Ross placed bets using their own money despite telling their fans otherwise, adding:

“When Ross and Drake purport to gamble online with Stake.com, they often do not do so with their own money despite telling the public in Missouri and elsewhere the opposite. Stake’s and Drake’s and Ross’s conduct here threatens the welfare of Missouri residents and especially its young people.”

This lawsuit came on the same day that Drake posted about his alleged $1 million balance on his Stake account via his Instagram @champagnepapi. The rapper has yet to comment on the lawsuit at the time of this article.
