Drake’s security guard was shot at the rapper’s Toronto home amid escalating tensions with US rival Kendrick Lamar.
A lyrical beef between the Canadian rapper and US rival Kendrick Lamar has exploded in recent days.
Authorities reported that individuals in a vehicle allegedly shot a security guard near the Park Lane Circle residence around 02:00 EDT (06:00 GMT) on Tuesday, before fleeing the area. It remains uncertain whether Drake was present during the incident or if he was the intended target. Currently, he is engaged in a verbal dispute with American rapper Kendrick Lamar.
However, law enforcement officials have stated that it’s premature to discuss a motive as the investigation is ongoing. Inspector Paul Krawczyk of the Integrated Gun and Gang Task Force informed the media on Tuesday morning that they are in communication with Drake’s team, who are cooperating. He added that they are reviewing video footage of the shooting but are refraining from disclosing details due to issues with the video quality.
The victim is currently hospitalized in serious condition, as confirmed by reports. According to witnesses speaking to Canadian media, he has suffered multiple gunshot wounds, including one to the chest. Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow, briefed by police on the incident, refrained from disclosing specific details but emphasized the city’s disapproval of any act of violence.
She expressed hope for swift police action in apprehending those responsible for violating the law. Meanwhile, the feud between Drake and Lamar in the realm of hip-hop has intensified, marked by a flurry of hostile “diss tracks” exchanged between the two prominent artists over the recent weekend.
Lamar’s latest hit song “Not Like Us” is currently dominating both US and global music charts, with the cover art featuring the lavish home of a Canadian resident situated in Toronto’s upscale Bridle Path neighborhood.
In the song, Lamar accuses Drake of engaging in relationships with minors and suggests he is concealing a secret love child, implying that he might be harboring multiple sex offenders at his residence. In response, Drake’s song “The Heart Part 6” refutes these claims and expresses his disgust towards them. Drake has previously mentioned his residence, known as The Embassy, in his music and social media posts. The property features gates that exceed city height regulations due to security concerns. Online images depict the property cordoned off with caution tape as authorities investigate a shooting incident.
It’s definitely a shocking and concerning situation. Fortunately, Drake wasn’t home at the time, but it’s still very unsettling. We all hope that the security guard makes a speedy recovery and that Drake and his team are taking the necessary precautions to ensure everyone’s safety moving forward. It’s a reminder that even those in the public eye are not immune to such serious events. Let’s send positive vibes to Drake and his team during this difficult time.
