Jay-Z’s attempt to win some cool cash in a betting adventure has been unsuccessful. The rapper had placed $1 million in a prediction for the Oklahoma City Thunder to beat the Indiana Pacers.
His favorite team was supposed to win five matches in the 2025 NBA Finals, but has already been defeated twice. The Pacers won their third game on Wednesday, June 11.
The Roc Nation boss would have raked in some $3.3 million if the bet was successful. The 2025 NBA Finals has been highly competitive as all teams put their best foot forward.
In March, Jay-Z sued the lawyers and the woman who accused him of rape before the suit was eventually dismissed.
The musician indicated that the complainant conspired with her legal representatives to make knowingly false claims to inflict harm and extort money from him.
He added that lawyers for the complaint did not make sufficient efforts to vet the details of the complainant’s accusations.
Jay-Z claimed the lawyers had sent him an “extortionate” demand letter and anonymous lawsuit before naming him publicly.
According to him, the subsequent interview by the complainant with NBC News was part of a malicious attempt to bring the story “before the world in court and on global television.”
Following the dismissal of the sexual assault lawsuit against Jay Z last month, he was spotted for the first time in town with his partner, Beyonce.
