In a startling breach of security, an intruder was arrested at the Toronto mansion of renowned rapper Drake, just a day after a drive-by shooting incident left a security guard seriously injured. The events unfolded in the affluent Bridle Path neighbourhood, casting a shadow over the Canadian artist’s residence.
The attempted break-in occurred around 2 pm on Wednesday, with the intruder being detained under the Mental Health Act1. This incident closely followed a harrowing drive-by shooting at the property’s entrance in the early hours of Tuesday, which resulted in a security guard sustaining multiple gunshot wounds1.
These disturbing occurrences coincide with Drake’s escalating rap feud with fellow artist Kendrick Lamar. The tension between the two has been palpable, with each releasing diss tracks that have increasingly personal attacks1. Lamar’s latest track, “Not Like Us,” features a satellite image of Drake’s 50,000 square foot mega-mansion, insinuating unsavoury activities within its walls1. Drake has vehemently denied these allegations in his response track, “The Heart Part 6.”
The hip hop community has begun to voice concerns over the feud’s direction, with notable figures like Roots drummer Questlove criticising the artists for their “mudslinging and takedown by any means necessary” approach1. The sentiment is clear: the industry fears the consequences of such public disputes may escalate beyond lyrical warfare.
As the investigation continues, Toronto Police have yet to confirm any connection between the feud and the recent security incidents at Drake’s home. However, the timing of these events has undoubtedly raised eyebrows, leaving fans and residents alike in a state of unease.
