Toronto police are currently investigating a shooting that occurred outside rapper Drake’s mansion in the affluent Bridle Path neighborhood of Toronto. The incident took place around 2 a.m. on Tuesday, leaving a security guard seriously wounded. Authorities have not confirmed whether Drake was present at the time of the shooting, but they have stated that his team is fully cooperating with the investigation.
Video footage of the shooting has been recovered, and the injured security guard remains hospitalized. Toronto Police Inspector Paul Krawczyk, when asked about a recent rap feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, stated that while investigators are aware of the ongoing dispute, it is too early to determine if it played a role in the incident.
Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham, is widely recognized as one of the best-selling artists of the modern era. Initially gaining fame as a child actor on the popular teen program “Degrassi: The Next Generation,” he later transitioned to music and released several influential albums, including “Take Care,” “Nothing Was the Same,” and “Views.” Throughout his career, Drake has achieved 13 No. 1 hits, such as “God’s Plan,” “Work” featuring Rihanna, and “One Dance” with WizKid and Kyla. He was named Spotify’s most streamed artist of the decade and has received five Grammy awards. Drake is often credited with introducing R&B sensibilities into the hip-hop genre, shaping its new era.
