Some Baltimore Ravens fans are concerned that quarterback Lamar Jackson could become the next victim of the "Drake curse" after the rapper wished him a happy birthday.

Drake posted the message on his Instagram story Tuesday with a photo of him wearing clothing with "Truss" written on it, a nod to the Ravens' unofficial motto, "Big Truss."

Drake has a history of "cursing" teams by associating himself with them, which led to Italian soccer club Roma "banning" its players from appearing in photos with him last year. While some believe the curse was broken when the Toronto Raptors won their first NBA championship in June, others aren't convinced.

Jackson, who turned 23 years old Tuesday, told reporters it was "pretty cool" to receive a shoutout from Drake and said they've been talking to each other for a while.
