The R.I.C.O. rapper didn’t bring her much luck. The seemingly unbeatable 21-time major champion suffered a surprising defeat to Italy’s Roberta Vinci after three sets, leaving many fans to wonder if Drake ended up a jinx to his rumored girlfriend.

Fans mobbed social media blaming Drake for the loss. “The Drake backlash right now is a sight to behold,” tweeted MSNBC host Chris Hayes.
