Drake's security guard was shot at his home in Toronto.

In the early hours of May 7th, a shooting incident was reported at the residence of Canadian rapper Drake. The incident occurred outside his Toronto home, where a security guard stationed at the gates was shot and subsequently taken to the hospital with serious injuries. According to reports, the alleged shooter fled the scene in a vehicle, leaving behind a chaotic and alarming scene.

The victim, who has not been named, is said to be in stable condition and is expected to make a full recovery. Duty Inspector Paul Krawczyk described the shooting as a driveby and stated that there are currently no suspects or descriptions of the shooter or the vehicle. The Toronto Police Operations has urged anyone with information to come forward and assist with the investigation.

The shooting took place just days after a highly publicized rap battle between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, with Lamar's latest release featuring a Google Maps photo of Drake's residence on the cover art. While the motive for the shooting is still unknown, Krawczyk did mention that authorities may reach out to US investigators for further insight.

It's worth noting that Drake has been known to reveal his location in his music, with one of his songs released in 2021 titled "7 a.m. on Bridle Path" explicitly mentioning the location of his home. Despite this, the rapper's team is said to be cooperating with the investigation, although it is unclear if Drake was present at the time of the incident.

The neighborhood where Drake's 50,000-square-foot estate is located, The Bridle Path, is known for its upscale residences and multimillion-dollar mansions. In recent years, the rapper has faced backlash for his extravagant lifestyle and flaunting his wealth in his music.

Shortly after the shooting, Drake dropped a new diss track, further fueling speculation about a potential motive for the incident. The late rapper Tupac Shakur's estate even threatened to sue Drake for using an AI-assisted diss track that Tupac would have never approved of.

As the investigation continues, the incident serves as a reminder of the dangers and risks that come with fame and fortune. Our thoughts are with the victim and we hope for a swift resolution to this troubling event.
