Drake’s property is currently under police surveillance after the incident and the street outside his mansion has been taped off with ‘Do Not Cross’ signs, according to reports.
A man shot outside of Drake’s Toronto mansion has been taken to the hospital with serious injuries, according to police.
In a post to X, formerly Twitter, Toronto Police Operations said they responded to a shooting in the area of Bayview Avenue and Lawrence Avenue East at around 2:09 a.m. The suspect fled the scene in a vehicle. Police say there is no description of the suspect or the getaway vehicle.
CityNews reports the Canadian rapper was not the one who was shot.
Local law enforcement sources tell CBC that the initial call suggests the victim was “a security guard at the home who appears to have been shot in a drive-by attack.”
In the meantime, the shooting is under investigation and police remain at the scene.

The area is known as The Bridle Path, an upscale neighborhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, comprising multimillion-dollar mansions.
The “Push Ups” rapper famously owns a 50,000-square-foot estate in the area.
The shooting comes as Drake is embroiled in a rap beef with Compton native Kendrick Lamar.
Lamar recently highlighted Drizzy’s home for the album cover of his diss track “Not Like Us.” It features an aerial view of the massive home with over a dozen red sex offender symbols around it.
The home was already searchable online before the “Humble” rapper released the single. S: KTLA
