A woman has been arrested near the home of Drake, with some reports suggesting she had been carrying a weapon.

Drake, real name Aubrey Drake Graham, lives in an estate in Toronto, and the “Hotline Bling” star was reportedly home at the time of the incident.

According to TMZ, Toronto police confirmed that officers “responded to a call around 5 PM ET” yesterday (30 March) and had arrested an unnamed woman before she was able to gain entry to Drake’s estate.

No injuries were sustained and legal authorities are currently investigating the occurrence.

Page Six and The Toronto Sun had reported that the woman was apprehended while armed with a knife, and had allegedly hit a private security officer with a pipe.

The Toronto Police services told The Independent: “It is alleged that a woman assaulted a security guard.”

The police also said that the 39-year-old woman was being charged with two counts of Weapons Dangerous and one count of Assault with a Weapon.

“She is scheduled to appear in court virtually at Toronto West, 2201 Finch Avenue West, on Wednesday, March 31, 2021,” added a spokesperson.

Drake’s estate is reportedly worth upwards of $100m (£73m), and is situated in north-east Toronto’s Bridle Path area.

The artist has yet to comment on the incident.
