Drake and Kevin Hart teamed up for a gambling livestream, but the fun briefly hit a snag when the Toronto rapper grew frustrated with his production team over technical issues.
The two stars came together for a special livestream hosted by Drake in collaboration with online gambling platform Stake. The broadcast saw the rapper and comedian placing bets together, despite being in separate locations, but audio issues briefly disrupted the session.
Although the event brought two of the entertainment industry’s biggest names together, Drake appeared visibly annoyed after discovering that viewers were having trouble hearing the audio.
“The chat can’t hear anything,” Drake said while trying to explain the issue to his production crew.
He continued expressing his frustration over the technical difficulties, stressing that his team needed to find a proper solution instead of relying on a temporary fix.
“You just gotta run the audio,” he said. “But that’s not, that’s not enough. That’s not how you do it. You have to run the audio through your thing. You guys gotta figure it out.”
The incident briefly disrupted what was supposed to be an entertaining gambling session featuring Drake and Hart.
Hart’s participation stems from a new partnership with Pragmatic Play, which revealed that the comedian would host four exclusive live casino sessions during the two-day event.
The partnership brings Hart’s comedic flair into the company’s live gaming platform, where he is expected to engage with players while hosting some of its popular casino games.
“When the opportunity to host some of Pragmatic Play’s biggest live casino games came up, I jumped at the opportunity,” Hart said in a statement announcing the partnership.
“I’ve seen what they’ve got planned and let me tell you; they don’t do things small. I’m bringing the Kevin energy to Pragmatic Play. November can’t get here fast enough. Let’s play!”
Hart is no stranger to the gambling scene. The comedian has previously appeared on High Stakes Poker and participated in the 2017 Super High Roller Bowl, which had a $300,000 buy-in.
Drake has also made gambling a major part of his online presence, regularly showing off his bets and taking part in casino livestreams.
Despite the audio hiccup, the collaboration brought the rapper and comedian together for another major moment at the intersection of celebrity entertainment and online gambling.
At the time of writing, a gambling livestream featuring Drake without Hart is still underway.
