Another Trespessar Detained at Drake’s Toronto Home

Drake Dreamville

Another person has been arrested after trespassing on Drake’s home. This is the third incident at the Toronto mansion in three days.

The incident occurred at 3:30 p.m. local time, where a trespasser got into an altercation with security before police arrived. The trespasser was taken to a hospital for injuries sustained during the event.

Unwelcome visitors continue to visit Drake’s Toronto home, nicknamed The Embassy. According to TMZ, on Wednesday (May 9) a man was placed in police custody after attempting to access the sprawling mansion.

Officers were called to the Bridal Path home after a man was intercepted at the security gate and detained until officers arrived. The man was arrested under the Mental Health Act. Canada Global News reporter Tracy Tong revealed the man stated he was “here to see Drake” before engaging in a scuffle with security.

This incident happened less than 24 hours after a shooting at Drake’s residence. According to The Toronto Sun, the man injured is a 48-year-old security guard. He was struck by bullets while “standing outside the gates in front of the home.”

The shooting occurred at 2:09 a.m., and the injuries were considered life-threatening. The shooting was a drive by. One of the bullets hit in the upper chest. The man was transported to the Sunnybrook Hospital and is listed in serious condition.

After the drive-by shooting, a vehicle was seen leaving the area. Law enforcement is allegedly battling “video quality” issues.

There are no details on whether Drake was home despite being seen in Toronto recently.

Tory Lanez Says Drake Won the Beef in Phone Call From Jail

Win a Chance to Sit Down With Tory Lanez and The Source Magazine in NYC This Week

Tory Lanez is speaking from jail to reveal his winner in the Kendrick Lamar-Drake beef. Unsurprisingly, Lanez is riding with Toronto and naming Drake the winner.

Lanez called Joe Budden and broke down why Drizzy won. You can hear the details from Budden below.

Tory Lanez is ready to give his first interview from prison. According to Adin Ross, the Chixtape rapper will call into his stream via Zoom.

“Yo chat, by the way, free my dawg Tory, man,” Adin said. “Adin x Tory Lanez stream — it’s going to be a Zoom call, chat. He’s going to be in jail and I’m going to be at the warehouse. Zoom call, very, very soon.”

The Game Destroys Rick Ross On New Diss Song “Freeway’s Revenge”

The Game loves to battle. Few popular rappers have picked more fights than the Compton spitter. He went at 50 Cent, he disrespected Dr. Dre, and he penned a ten-minute song aimed at Eminem called “The Black Slim Shady.” Anybody can get it as far as Game is concerned, and Rick Ross is his latest target. The Game had been throwing shots at Ross during the first week of May. He taunted Rozay’s weight and posted an AI photo of the boss running on his Instagram Story. There was a beef on the horizon and Game crystalized it on May 10 with “Freeway’s Revenge.”

The Game does not waste any time playing nice. The literal opening lines of the song see him rap about cutting Rick Ross’ stomach open and stuffing bricks in it. It’s a horrifying visual, and a clever riff on the Miami rapper’s imagined kingpin persona. “I can see the b*tch in him,” Game raps with seething anger. “You 12 lemon pepper wings away from a heart attack.”

Once again, he goes at Ross’ weight, and ties things back to the aforementioned AI photo. Rozay is running, like we said, but he’s also dressed like a corrections officer outfit and ducking a cop while carrying a bucket of chicken. Subtle? Nope. Effective for a diss? Very much so.

The Game Uses Rick Ross’ Own Flow To Diss Him

The Game then proves that he’s been keeping tabs on the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle by making reference to DJ Akademiks and Kai Cenat. Both streamers have been instrumental in covering the big battle of 2024, and it sounds like the Compton rapper wants some of the action. “Akademiks, get this n**ga Ozyempic starter pack,” he spits. “Kai Cenat, hit the room, turn that stream on.” The Game also references Drake and Kendrick Lamar by name. “This ain’t the Kendrick beef,” he adds. “My Drake sing song shots ring out.”

The rapper regains his focus during the second half of the diss, thankfully. He stops name-dropping other people and lays into Ross over his law enforcement past. He also pulls out a trick he used on the Eminem diss by emulating Rozay’s voice and referencing the rapper’s old lyrics. The instrumental switch furthers the menacing vibe, sounding like the sort of lavish sound that the MMG label boss usually raps over himself.

The Game doesn’t tell us anything we don’t already know about Rick Ross, but it is a pretty entertaining diss. Let’s see where it goes.

Kendrick Lamar Copyright Strikes Edited Version Of “Meet The Grahams”

Kendrick Lamar is standing by what he said. “Meet the Grahams” was one of the most devastating diss songs ever put out. Over a haunting Alchemist beat, Lamar laid into his opponent, Drake, and laid out all the reasons why the Toronto rapper is a phony. He addressed Drake’s son and both his parents, but the biggest revelation came in the song’s third verse. Lamar addressed an unnamed daughter, claiming the rapper has an 11-year-old that he has neglected to raise since rising to fame. It was a shocking moment, and one that’s been examined with a lot of scrutiny.

Many claim Lamar is making the daughter up. Some have even posited that Drake fed the rapper’s camp bad information in an attempt to bait him. There’s been no evidence to prove either theory. Fans have to decide what the truth is for themselves.

Some are so put off by the so-called “lie” Lamar told that they went the extra mile and took the third verse out of “Meet the Grahams.” Rap Radar‘s Elliot Wilson posted an edited version of the song on May 8. Lamar was not a fan of this change, however.

Kendrick Lamar Removed A Version With Omitted Lyrics

The rapper filed a copyright violation against the edited version of “Meet the Grahams.” It was quickly taken down from social media platforms. Punch, Lamar’s former label mate at Top Dawg Entertainment, criticized the very concept of the edited version. He reposted Wilson’s tweet with a rhetorical question for the journalist. “Why would you request for it to be edited anyway,” he asked. “Did you ask for edits on anything else?”

Kendrick Lamar’s decision to take down the edited “Meet the Grahams” was no accident. The rapper has been very hands-on with song rollout over the last few months. He removed the copyrights for his Drake disses, meaning content creators who review “Meet the Grahams” or “Not Like Us” can profit from their videos. This was an unprecedented move, and one that earned Lamar lots of praise from online creators. It’s obvious the censoring of his work is not something he’s willing to tolerate, however.

The version of “Meet the Grahams” without mention of Drake’s daughter is no more. All that remains is the rapper’s original, brutal version.

Drake Gets Second Trespasser At His Toronto Home In Two Days

Drake is the rap kingpin of Toronto. His moniker “6 God” is literally in reference to the city’s area code. Things have been dicey for Drake in the city, however, since he became embroiled in the Kendrick Lamar battle. His OVO store was vandalized with the title of Lamar’s latest diss, and a shooting led to a member of his security being shot in the chest. The misfortune continued on May 9. According to TMZ, the rapper was paid a visit by an unidentified trespasser.

The Toronto Police Department told TMZ they received a call around 3:30 pm ET on Thursday. The caller stated that a trespasser was walking around Drake’s property. The trespasser was arguing with Drake’s security by the time police arrived on the scene. It’s unclear what transpired between the trespasser and the rapper’s security. The former was, however, subsequently taken to the hospital. The information lines up with reports from earlier in the day, which stated that an ambulance was spotted near the rapper’s mansion. The trespasser has not been identified.

A post shared by @lilguyrespecter

It’s the second time in two days this bizarre interaction has taken place. On May 8, a different trespasser approached the front gate of Drake’s estate. Police subsequently detained the man. The rapper has not issued a statement regarding either incident. He has, however, talked about the issue of gun violence as it pertains to Toronto.

Drake appeared in the 2019 documentary Remember Me, Toronto to assert that he was firmly against it. He also spoke on how his fame makes him a target, and the difficulty he has balancing that with a desire to give back to the community.

“It’s a daunting path to try and be the biggest and baddest from your ends,” he explained. “It’s just way more impactful if you put all that energy into a grind that people remember you and say, ‘I remember that guy came around and gave us all a chance.’ Those are the people who get the glory story.” Hopefully the trend of trespassers at the rapper’s home doesn’t continue.

Ebro Divides Fans With The Claim That Drake And Toronto Don’t Have A Definitive Sound

Regional sounds have existed within hip-hop since the birth of the genre. While they were perhaps at their most clearly defined during the West Coast and East Coast battles of the 90s, they haven’t gone anywhere. The rise of southern rap later that decade set in motion a series of dominoes that led to contemporary trap styles. And the internet has allowed even more regional sounds to become identifiable to rap fans. And Ebro recently found himself in hot water when he weighed in on Toronto’s alleged lack of a regional sound while talking about the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef.

During a radio discussion about the beef he took some time to shift the focus a bit. He made comments about both Drake and the city he comes from not having a definitive regional sound. As you’d expect, that was met with very mixed reactions by fans. In the comments, they continue the debate. “Drake do have a sound though , it’s young money they forgot that” one fan suggests. “Drake is a rapper from TORONTO and nobody was checking for Toronto for rap until Drake showed up. So how is Drake supposed to have a regional identity in a place that no one was checking for rap music?” another fan suggests. Check out Ebro’s full comments and the fan debates below.

Ebro’s Drake Comments Lead To Fan Debate

Drake currently appears to be licking his wounds following a hostile beef with Kendrick Lamar. The two went back and forth for weeks resulting in some deeply personal disses. At the end of his most recent track “The Heart Part 6” Drake claims that he’s done with the beef. It’s yet to be seen if Kendrick has any response to the accusation that rumors he spread about Drake having a secret child were actually planted by Drake’s team.

What do you think of Ebro’s comments about Drake and Toronto lacking a definitive rap style? Do you agree with him that there isn’t anything recognizable about the cities rap output? Let us know in the comment section below.

Naomi Osaka Picks Kendrick Lamar Over Drake And Wants Another Diss Track From the LA Rapper

The rap beef between Kendrick Lamar has been a wild saga. The beef has reached all corners of the culture, including sports. Tennis star Naomi Osaka has just declared that she thinks Kendrick has won the beef and really wants the rapper to put out another song like “Not Like Us.” Naomi really enjoys the song, and though she is a peaceful person, she can’t deny how good it is. The tennis superstar is the latest to pick a winner in what has been weeks of back-and-forths between Drake and Kendrick.

When speaking about the beef, Osaka made sure to clarify that she is a “pacifist” and “neutral party” in the beef. She then ultimately sided with Kendrick. Osaka went on to describe her love for Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” which she has been enjoying on repeat and using for her walk-out music. All in all, Naomi is having fun with what has come out of the feud, and she thinks Kendrick’s song is the clear winner and highlight of the whole ordeal.

Naomi Osaka Wants Another Kendrick Diss Track

the four-time Grand Slam title champion said of “Not Like Us,” “Kendrick dropped some heat.” She continued, “That last song is amazing, and I played it while walking onto the court.” Osaka was asked by a reporter if she thought the Compton rapper should drop another diss track. Osaka replied, “Yeah. Sorry.” she then explained why it should lowkey happen. She explained, “Technically, Kendrick dropped that song, then Drake dropped “The Heart Part 6,” so technically Kendrick could drop another two if he wanted to,” 

Subsequently, Osaka brought up a similar topic that was discussed in “The Heart Part 6,” when Drake discussed the conflict and said he’s “happy I could motivate you” since Kendrick’s fans are actually “getting raps” out of the MC. All signs point to Drake having lost the battle. People are declaring Kendrick the winner, saying Drake’s last diss didn’t go over that well. Overall, Naomi Osaka is happy to have gotten such an entertaining track from Kendrick Lamar. Maybe the beef was worth it just for that.

A History Of Drake & Future’s Shaky Relationship

Drake and Future are undoubtedly two of hip-hop’s biggest names. However, their relationship can only be described as complex, given its equal mix of ups and downs. The pair have collaborated on some of hip-hop’s greatest hits, boosting their popularity and diversity. Drake and Future enjoyed incredible success from working together. However, every stage of their relationship seems to have been plagued by one issue or the other.

Before now, there were faint rumors of issues between Drake and Future. However, those rumors intensified after Future and Metro Boomin released their album, We Don’t Trust You. The album featured a diss verse from Kendrick Lamar on “Like That” targeted at Drake and J. Cole. The hip-hop scene heated up as Drake and Kendrick engaged in a rap feud since the song’s release. Besides the Drake vs. Kendrick beef, We Don’t Trust You made fans and hip-hop enthusiasts pay more attention to ongoing tensions between Drake and Future. Let us explore the history of Drake and Future’s relationship, focusing on their shared successes, controversial moments, and present tensions.

Notable Collaborations & Successes

Hip-hop enthusiasts most likely remember Drake and Future more for their impactful collaborations. The rappers collaborated for the first time in 2011. Then, Drake jumped on the remix of Future’s breakout hit, “Tony Montana.” Afterward, they featured in other artists’ songs, These included Lil Wayne’s “Love Me,” Preme’s “DnF,” and DJ Drama’s “We In This Bitch.” Besides “Tony Montana,” Drake also collaborated with Future on some of his other early projects. These included “Fo Real,” the remix of “Sh!t,” and “Never Satisfied.”

With their collaborative chemistry formulated, Drake and Future went ahead and became a winning team. In 2015, Drake appeared on “Where Ya At,” becoming the only guest feature on Future’s DS2, notably primarily produced by Metro Boomin. Afterward, Drake and Future teamed up for the joint mixtape What A Time To Be Alive. Again, Metro Boomin executive produced the successful collaboration. In 2016, Drake and Future combined for more success as the latter appeared on “Grammys” from the former’s Views.

Drake and Future also went on the Summer Sixteen Tour. After the tour’s conclusion, they teamed up for the single “Used To This.” This solidified their partnership and the alliance between their record labels, OVO and FBG. The pair enjoyed more successful collaborations in the 2020s, with the songs “Life Is Good,” “Desires,” and “D4L,” featuring Young Thug. Their final collaboration came in 2022 in Future’s album I Never Liked You. Drake appeared on “I’m On One” and “Wait For U,” which sampled Nigerian singer Tem’s “Higher.” “Wait For You” won a Grammy for Best Melodic Rap Performance.

Initial Tensions Between Drake and Future

The first seeds of discord between Drake and Future were sewn in November 2011. The pair collaborated on the remix of Future’s “Tony Montana.” However, Drake didn’t feature on the music video, which hurt Future’s feelings. During an interview on The Source TV, Future said Drake’s absence from the music video felt like a “slap in the face.” He explained that many Atlanta-based artists wanted to get on the song, but he chose Drake over them. He added, “I really wanted to give Atlanta something different, and it ended up being a slap in my face [because] we didn’t complete the whole thought. Just the thought of [Drake] getting on it deserves a salute, but the thought not being completed, the salute comes back.” Although both rappers settled the issue and worked together again, there was more to come.

In August 2013, Future ignited more chaos during an interview on Power 106. He revealed he inspired the hook on Drake’s hit track “Started From The Bottom.” Future further revealed that Drake appreciated the inspiration but didn’t give him the recognition he deserved. He said, “[Drake] bought me a bottle of Louis XIII [de Remy Martin Grande Champagne Cognac] that I never opened up because of this story. I was like, ‘Man I don’t want a bottle. I need publishing.’ But Drake, that’s the homie.”

More Tensions…

Drake and Future had more tensions after the latter got allegedly removed from the OVO boss’s Would You Like a Tour? Future’s exemption from the tour came after his comments about Drake during a Billboard interview. Comparing his Honest album to Drake’s NWTS album, Future said, “Drake made an album that is full of hits but it doesn’t grab you. They’re not possessive; they don’t make you feel the way I do. I want to make you want to fall in love.”

However, Future’s team requested Billboard remove those comments as they claimed they were taken out of context. Future also made a post on X (then called Twitter). He wrote, “Respect to Billboard, disappointed on being misquoted..always love for my fam Drizzy Drake.” Amid these tensions, there were also reports that Drake and Future were embroiled in a $1.5 million lawsuit over the tour’s logistics. The pair seemingly settled the rift as Future rejoined the tour and also participated in Drake’s Summer Sixteen Tour.

Strained Relationship Continues After “Wait For U”

Drake and Future collaborated with great effect on the highly successful “Wait For U.” However, that proved to be their last collaboration as they never actively promoted the song or performed it together. In November 2022, Drake released his joint album with 21 Savage, Her Loss. Two months after the album’s release, rumors emerged that Future wasn’t pleased with Drake’s partnership with 21 Savage on the Her Loss album. After We Don’t Trust You‘s release, investigative fans dug deeper into Her Loss and speculated that “More M’s” had lyrics from Drake that targeted Future. One such line is, “I could really go five hours in the stadium/What happened to that n***a claiming OVO? We traded ‘em.” Theorists believe Drake referred to Future, who previously claimed OVO via social media posts and his outfits.

All This Fuss Over a Woman?

With speculations rife about the cause of Drake and Future’s strained relationship, some theories claimed the rappers feuded over a woman. These theories weren’t without cause. In Drake and 21 Savage’s “More M’s” from their Her Loss album, Drake rapped, “N***as ain’t got love for the boy, so they fake it/Crack a couple jokes to some bitches on some snake sh*t/But if I send a verse to they a*s, then they’ll take it/Shoot a video, arm around me like we aces.” Some fans believe Drake’s lyrics aimed at Future and proof that their feud was because of a woman. One can interpret the lyrics as Drake complaining about Future flirting with a woman he had an interest in and still acting like a bro in their music collaborations.

Drake also rapped, “Or pop out at my shows, jump around with me on stages/Probably why these h*es love to shower me with praises/Might’ve f*cked a rapper, girl, but you ain’t f*cked Drake yet.” The lyrics seemingly show that Drake and Future might have slept with the same woman, leading to issues between them. Unsurprisingly, internet detectives dug further and found that Drake and Future are possibly feuding over a woman named Diana. From the findings, the woman works at a Miami club named Booby Trap.

To lay more credence to these findings, Drake raps in his song “Fear of Heights,” “He might take you on trips/and he might have some hits/But, baby, not more than me/He might be at the trap and ones/But ain’t throwin’ more than me.” The “trap” reference from those bars could be referring to Diana, who works at Booby Trap. This might mean Drake’s ego was probably hurt after Future and Diana started hanging out.

We Don’t Trust You

In We Don’t Trust You‘s opening track, Future raps, “You a n***a number one fan, dog/ Sneak dissin’, I don’t understand, dog/ Pillow talkin’, actin’ like a fed, dog/I don’t need another fake friend, dog/Can’t be ’bout a ho, ’cause we sharin’, dog/In yo feelings, n***a, why you playin’, dog?” If Drake and Future are really feuding over a woman, then those bars could be directed at Drake, which makes those assumptions more valid. Also, Future and Metro Boomin have a song in their album titled “Magic Don Juan (Princess Diana),” which some speculated could be about the same woman. Interestingly enough, the song boasts production credits from Boi-1da, who not only is an in-house producer for OVO but produced Drake’s recent string of diss tracks aimed at Kendrick Lamar and the industry as a whole.

Drake Probably Hinted Fans About the Beef Earlier

After rumors of Drake and Future’s beef began circulating, fans went back to Drake’s For All The Dogs album. In the song “What Would Pluto Do,” initially thought to be about Drake hailing Future, Drake raps, “What would Pluto do? He’d f*ck the h*e, so I did it/ What would Pluto do? He definitely f*ckin’ on this h*e, yeah.” Looking at the lines retrospectively, Drake could have been talking about him and Future sleeping with the same woman. If these theories are true, then it all begins to make sense now. Well, Drake warned everyone in “Middle Of The Ocean” from his Her Loss album, where he raps, “The lyrics begin to reveal themselves over time periods.” Okay, 6 God, we get you now.

The Metro Boomin Effect

With the rumors that Drake and Future were beefing over a woman gaining ground, Metro Boomin took it upon himself to clarify things. The producer tweeted, “Yall n***as stop making stuff up for engagement and enjoy the music.” Having worked extensively with Drake and Future, some, including the Canadian rapper, suggested that Metro might be at the center of their feud. In December 2023, Metro criticized Drake’s Her Loss album despite saying he had no issues with the rapper. However, given Future and Metro’s strong bond, it seems clear that Future took a side between the hit-making producer and his former collaborator from Toronto.

Conclusion

Such a scenario could be playing out now. Metro and Future collaborated on an album, featuring a series of disses targeting Drake including the show-stopping verse from Kendrick Lamar on “Like That.” That diss verse began a full-blown rap war between Drake and Kendrick, and no one knows when it will stop. On both “Push Ups” and “Family Matters,” Drake addresses Future, though he sounds more hurt over their beef than anything on the latter. “Pluto sh*t make me sick to my stomach, we ain’t never really been through it/ Leland Wayne, he a f**kin’ lame, so I know he had to be an influence,” Drake raps on “Family Matters.”

Drake and Future’s complicated relationship is sad to see. The pair have been so great at their musical collaborations. Hence, it won’t make sense if they never do a song together. Hip-hop fans who only care about the music will want to see these two geniuses back at the studio working together again. Meanwhile, those who love drama will want more hate between them. No one knows what will become of the pair, so we can only wait and see.

21 Savage May Have Subtly Shown Support For Drake During A Recent Show

Many in the rap world have been turning their back on Drake in the past few months. While his “Poetic Justice” collaborator Kendrick Lamar has taken up many of the headlines he’s just one of several rappers who reportedly took shots at Drake. Former collaborators like Future, The Weeknd, and Metro Boomin were also roped into the beef for actions they took that were either supposedly or definitely aimed at Drake. One thing that’s surprised many onlookers is how few rappers came out in support of Drizzy.

That’s not to say nobody is on his side. Some controversial rappers like Jay Electronica, Azealia Banks, and Tom Macdonald have voiced their support for the “Rich Baby Daddy” rapper. One person who has been suspiciously silent is 21 Savage. He and Drake released a collaborative project back in 2022 called Her Loss that spawned a few big hits. The biggest of them is “Rich Flex” which Savage recently unpacked during a show in Kendrick Lamar’s hometown LA. Video from the performance shows he had the local crowd singing along to Drake’s verse on the track. If he’s taking sides he’s certainly doing it in a subtle way, but one that plenty of fans picked up on. Check out a clip from the show below.

21 Savage’s silence on the Drake beef was brought up last month as well. That came when Metro Boomin, who has been consistently tweeting out Drake hate, made a vague social media post. He commented on a potential third song in he and Savage’s Savage Mode series. The original Savage Mode dropped back in 2016 and it got a widely acclaimed follow up a few years later in 2020. The four years since then have fans calling for another addition to the series.

What do you think of 21 Savage playing his Drake collab “Rich Flex” while in Kendrick Lamar’s home town? Do you think the move was any kind of deliberate move to show whose side he’s on? Let us know in the comment section below.

Drake Toronto Mansion Shooting: What We Know So Far

Drake’s Toronto home, nicknamed “The Embassy” became the subject of intense media coverage following its unveiling on Architectural Digest in 2020. The $100 million mansion is now in the news for something other than its grandeur. Drake now joins the long list of music stars whose homes have become the target of shootings. On Tuesday, the 7th of April, the Toronto police released reports of a shooting that occurred. As of this moment, there has been only one major casualty, which is a seriously injured security personnel who was outside the mansion at the time of the incident. There has since been growing speculation that perhaps this incident is connected to Drake and Kendrick’s ongoing beef, though authorities haven’t confirmed whether that’s the case. Here are all the facts we know so far about the attack on “The Embassy.”

The Shooting 

TORONTO, CANADA – MAY 7 : Toronto police investigate outside rapper Drake’s mansion after an overnight shooting that hospitalized a security on May 7, 2024 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. (Photo by Mert Alper Dervis/Anadolu via Getty Images)

At about 2 a.m. on Tuesday, May 8th, a shooting occurred outside Drake’s massive 50,000 square feet mansion in Toronto. The victim was a security guard employed at the property, who was standing outside the gates when the incident took place. According to police, the guard was shot and sustained serious injuries around his chest region in what has been speculated to be a drive-by shooting (police didn’t confirm whether that’s the case). However, authorities have stated that he is presently receiving care.

Investigation And Speculation

The Toronto Police are actively investigating the shooting incident at Drake’s home. However, they have not released any descriptions of potential suspects. Furthermore, information about the getaway vehicle involved has also not been disclosed at the moment. Police said that they did collect “some video evidence which captures the incident,” though that has yet to surface. Unfortunately, on Wednesday, May 8, the police were called back to the home, where an intruder was finally apprehended, according to Toronto’s City News. 

As the investigation continues, authorities are working to determine the motive behind the attack, which remains unknown at this stage. The police have not confirmed whether Drake was present at his mansion during the shooting. However, pictures show that there were cars packed in the home. Lead inspector Paul Krawczyk has informed the public that the suspect(s) made their escape on wheels. 

This incident has raised eyebrows due to the rapper’s recent high-profile feud with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar. The two have been engaged in a heated exchange, trading diss tracks and leveling unsubstantiated allegations against each other. However, authorities have cautioned against drawing any premature conclusions about a potential connection between Drake’s rap beef and the shooting. That won’t stop the rumor from circulating like wildfire though. As celebrity culture and “stans” are often the cause of these stalker-like attacks, it’s not surprising that this is a theory that the public has entertained.

Security Measures And Neighborhood Impact 

Drake’s $100 million mansion is known for its grandeur and robust security measures, including guards, fencing, and surveillance systems. The shooting has undoubtedly caused concern among residents of the luxurious Bridle Path neighborhood. The local residents have also expressed shock and dismay over the incident. They are now voicing concerns about the potential impact on the community’s sense of safety. Drake and his team have not issued any official statements regarding the shooting. Regardless, the incident has sparked reactions from fans worldwide.

So far, Drake’s team have been cooperating with the Toronto police in the background. There has also been a call for any support in identifying the attackers. It is no shock that Toronto is slowly gaining a reputation for becoming more expensive, and thus, prone to these kinds of crimes. Furthermore, experts also believe that there is an increased threat on superstars whose locations of their homes are public knowledge.
