Police are investigating a shooting outside rapper Drake’s mansion in Toronto that left a security guard seriously wounded.
Authorities did not confirm whether Drake was at home at the
time of the shooting, but said his team is cooperating. The shooting happened
around 2 a.m. Tuesday in the affluent Bridle Path neighborhood of Toronto.
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.
Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham, is one of the best-selling
artists of the modern era. He began his career as a child actor on the popular
teen program “Degrassi: The Next Generation” before setting his sights on
music, dropping some of the most influential albums of any genre in the 2010s:
“Take Care,” “Nothing Was the Same,” and “Views” among them. He’s released 13
No. 1 hits across his career, including “God’s Plan,” “Work” featuring Rihanna,
and “One Dance” with WizKid and Kyla.
The “Hotline Bling” performer was named Spotify’s most
streamed artist of the decade, has won five Grammy awards, and is often
credited for ushering in the new era of hip-hop where rappers sing, weaving
R&B sensibilities into the genre.
