LAHORE – Bosses at Italian soccer club AS Roma have banned players from posing for snaps with rapper Drake, insisting he’s bad news for European sportsmen.
“All Roma players banned from taking photos with Drake,” it announced on Twitter, “until the end of the season.” Roma made the announcement Monday, after Paris Saint-Germain’s Layvin Kurzawa posed for a photo with the Canadian rapper and PSG lost, 5-1, to Lille in its next game.

Drake is gifted at many things – rapping, random acts of kindness, bringing back cancelled TV shows. But, for many football fans, he’s also becoming a bit of a pain.
The rap star was also pictured backstage with UFC superstar Conor McGregor’s before his big 2018 fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov, holding up the Irish flag. The Irishman lost in the fourth round.
Unbeaten boxer Anthony Joshua claims he can break the curse in his match against Jarred Miller on June 1 and posted a picture with the rapper on March 21, with the caption, “Bout to the break the curse #June1st.”

Obviously Roma are joking, but a number of clubs across England and Europe might be wishing they’d banned their players from posing for pictures with Drake over recent weeks.
