In the early hours of Tuesday morning, reports surfaced detailing a shooting incident at Drake's lavish Toronto residence. According to multiple news outlets, including TMZ and Canada Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), the incident left one person injured, identified as a member of Drake's security team.
Allegedly, the victim sustained serious injuries, reportedly shot in a drive-by attack. Police sources revealed that the victim was struck in the upper chest and was unconscious when authorities arrived at the scene. Emergency services swiftly transported the injured individual to the hospital, where they underwent surgery. At the time of reporting, the victim's condition remained serious.
Thankfully, Drake himself was not present at the time of the shooting. However, the incident has sparked speculation, particularly due to Drake's recent relocation from Los Angeles to Houston, where he purchased a ranch. Fans have connected this event to Drake's ongoing rap feud with Kendrick Lamar, especially considering Drake's absence from his Toronto home.
Drake's mansion, known as The Embassy, located in the upscale Bridle Path area of Toronto, has garnered significant attention in recent times. Valued at a staggering $100 million, the property has become a focal point of interest, especially after Kendrick Lamar referenced it in his recent hit song "Not Like Us."
Videos circulating online depicted a heavy police presence around Drake's property, with areas cordoned off from public access. Despite these visuals, no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting, and investigations are ongoing, according to Toronto Police Operations.
