A security guard working at Drake’s home in Toronto, Canada was shot in the early hours of Tuesday, according to authorities. The incident occurred around 2 a.m. local time, prompting a response from the police. The wounded guard was found outside the gate of the residence and was swiftly transported to the hospital in serious condition, as confirmed by Inspector Paul Krawczyk of the Toronto Police during a press briefing.
While the security guard continues to receive medical care in serious condition, details regarding the presence of Drake at the time of the shooting were not disclosed by Krawczyk. However, he mentioned that law enforcement officials are in contact with Drake's team and are actively participating in the ongoing investigation.
Speculation arose regarding a potential connection between the shooting and the recent publicized feud between Drake and fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar. Krawczyk dismissed these claims, emphasizing that the motive behind the incident remains undetermined. He further revealed that multiple suspects were involved in the shooting and fled the scene in a vehicle. Investigators are currently analyzing video footage to gather more information.
Despite requests for comments, representatives for Drake opted not to provide any statements on the matter. Drake, a highly acclaimed artist in the music industry, has achieved significant success throughout his career. With five Grammy Awards to his name and chart-topping hits like “Nice For What,” Drake made history last year by becoming the first artist to surpass 200 million units in sales, as recognized by the Recording Industry Association of America.
The rivalry between Drake and Lamar has recently intensified, with both artists releasing songs that contain personal and professional references aimed at each other. This lyrical battle has sparked debates among their fan bases, adding another layer of intrigue to the ongoing narrative surrounding these two prominent figures in the music world.
