Drake house shooting: Security guard wounded by gunfire outside rapper's mansion

May 7, 2024
An investigation is underway after a shooting outside rapper Drake’s mansion in Toronto that left a security guard seriously wounded.

Toronto police did not confirm whether Drake was at home at the time of the shooting around 2 a.m. Tuesday in the affluent Bridle Path neighborhood.

Toronto Police Inspector Paul Krawczyk said video of the shooting had been recovered and the guard who was wounded remains hospitalized.

In recent weeks, Drake has been engaged in a rap feud with Kendrick Lamar, with each artist dropping diss tracks attacking the other.

Krawczyk was asked whether the feud was a factor in the shooting and he said while investigators are aware of it, it was too early to discuss motive.
