Did the Daddy Yankee curse cause Mexico and Puerto Rico to lose in the World Baseball Classic? His presence at a few WBC games has sparked controversy similar to the Drake Curse. The curse might be baseball's own version.

The singer was present for the game between Mexico and Puerto Rico, representing the Puerto Rican side. Unfortunately, Mexico had a comeback win and defeated them 5-4 to move on.

That's not where it ended, though. A popular fan's team losing is nothing new, but this wasn't the only time it happened in such a short amount of time.

Not only was Daddy Yankee in town for Puerto Rico's loss, but he was also at the last Venezuela game. He was in the crowd wearing Venezuelan colors and they lost to the United States when Trea Turner hit a game-winning grand slam late in the contest.

To make things even worse, Daddy Yankee showed up for the latest Mexican contest. In the quarterfinals, Mexico took on Team Japan. They held a 3-0 lead and a 5-3 lead late in the contest.

Unfortunately, for Mexico, the singer was sporting their colors. They lost on a Munetaka Murakami walk-off double to end their magical World Baseball Classic run.

Will the curse rear its head tonight in the final between the United States and Japan?
