Canadian Rapper, Drake Saves Venezia From Bankruptcy

In a show of love and support, Canadian rapper Drake became the unlikely saviour of Italian Serie A team Venezia FC when it was looking at filing for bankruptcy heading into the 2023-2024 season by helping raise US$40 million (RM177 million).

The Venice football club were on the brink of declaring bankruptcy after spending heavily to strengthen their squad during the 2022-23 season.

The club sold players and raised money from new investors, but it wasn’t enough and Venezia who were at the top of the league, were on the brink of bankruptcy.

Failure meant a fall into Serie D if funding wasn’t raised.

In the midst of this crisis, an unlikely savior appeared. Brad Katsuyama, a Canadian businessman and co-owner of Venezia, reached out to Matte Babel, Drake’s chief brand officer and a close friend, for help.

Babel, speaking to GQ Italia, recounted the moment he received the urgent call. “I got a call from Brad, co-owner of Venezia and a good friend of mine.”
