A shooting erupted outside Drake’s Toronto mansion early Tuesday morning, and a tense atmosphere now surrounds the residence. Drake’s house shooting incident has left one man seriously injured and shaken the music world to its core, with matters further complicated by Drake’s ongoing disputes with Kendrick Lamar.
Toronto police arrived at the scene around 2:00 AM after reports of gunfire began to spread. Fortunately, preliminary rumors that Drake was the intended victim turned out to be unfounded. The authorities have confirmed that a male victim was seriously injured and is in the hospital.
Lately, police confirmed that Drake’s Security Guard has been listed as the victim of the shooting at his property. Police describe the event as a drive by and said the security was found unconscious with gunshot wound to the upper chest. He was rushed to the local hospital and immediately underwent surgery.
The further aggravating factor in the shooting case is the close proximity to Drake’s mansion, which appears to be the subject of Kendrick Lamar’s latest single cover. There are numerous speculative discussions on the internet that directly connect the tragic event to the residents of the mansion. Furthermore, the ongoing feud between the two rap artists only added sensationalism to the already hot topic.
The “conflict” between Drake and Lamar has been going on for several years, but only recently it began to heat up. As an example, it is possible to indicate that Lamar in his song Not Like Us accused Drake of attracting underage girls, and he answered with similar accusations in his work The Heart Part 6.
Despite the tweets and retweets, subsequent posts were shared on social media by the fans of both groups, giving one’s perspective concerning the event and a possible connection to the ongoing rivalry. While some are convinced that the shooting was premeditated and the police officers might have been unarmed in what appears as a planned move, some keep on posting requesting their colleagues and fellow commentators not to speculate before having the full information.
