Drake’s security guard seriously injured after shooting at his Toronto mansion

A security guard at Canadian rapper Drake’s Toronto mansion has been “seriously injured” after he was shot in what police officers suspect was a drive-by shooting.

The shooting comes amidst a feud between Drake and fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar, which some fear might turn violent as the rappers continue exchanging diss tracks.

Police were called to the home about 2 a.m. local time Tuesday, where they found a wounded man who was taken to the hospital in serious condition, Inspector Paul Krawczyk with Toronto Police told a press conference.

The security guard was working outside the gate at the home when he was shot, according to authorities. Police refused to reveal if Drake was at home or not at the time of the shooting.

“It is so early in the investigation that we don’t have a motive at this time,” Krawczyk said, as he acknowledged hostilities between Drake and Lamar.

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow told reporters she had been briefed by police about the shooting but declined to provide details.

“Any shooting is not welcome in this city and I hope the police will find the people that are violating the law and catch them,” she said.

The Canadian’s house, in the ritzy Bridle Path neighbourhood of Toronto, is the subject of cover art for Lamar’s latest song Not Like Us, which is currently topping US and global music charts.

In the song, Lamar accuses Drake of having relationships with underage women, and of harbouring a secret love child, with the image appearing to suggest he is housing multiple sex offenders under his roof.

Drake later replied with another track, The Heart Part 6, which doubled down on accusations of domestic violence against Lamar. Daily Mast
