Someone was shot outside of Drake’s mansion in Toronto, Ontario, Canada early Tuesday morning.
According to CTV News Toronto, one man was injured in the incident and taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The shooting allegedly occurred overnight and happened very close to Drake’s Bridle Path home, known as “The Embassy.”
I know the first thing people are thinking. Was Drake hurt?
It’s been made clear by local authorities that he was not the individual who was shot and he is willing to cooperate with police in the investigation.
Toronto Police Operations gave more details in a post on social media, saying that the incident occurred between Bayview Ave. & Lawrence Ave E. after 2:00 a.m. The suspect left the scene after the shooting occurred.
Although authorities know when and where the incident occurred, they currently have no descriptions of the suspect or the vehicle he fled in. As of this morning, the area has been taped off by police and they are expected to provide more descriptive details later today.
The timing of this incident is obviously eerie considering it occurred just days after the craziest weekend in rap history involving Drake and his Compton rival, Kendrick Lamar. In a span of six days, six songs dropped between both of these artists.
Two from Drake (“Family Matters” and “The Heart Part 6“) and four from Lamar (“euphoria,” “6:16 In LA,” “meet the grahams,” and “Not Like Us.”)
Ironically, the cover art for K-Dot’s most recent and popular diss, “Not Like Us,” shows an aerial view of Drake’s Bridle Path home with several red markers across. These markers resemble those found on maps marking the homes of registered sex offenders.
In short, before even hearing the song, Lamar labeled Drake and his associates as sex offenders and he continues to do so when you hear the lyrics.
These are unsubstantiated claims that were later denied by Drake on his latest record, “The Heart Part 6.”
