Unwelcome Visitor at The Embassy: Security Breach Raises Concerns for Drake
The man who tried to get into “The Embassy” in Toronto’s Bridle Path neighborhood was approached on Wednesday. This disturbing incident occurred precisely the day following the one when Drake’s security guard was wounded in the house. Thus, it is questioned whether the rapper is currently safe at home and if his security personnel operates effectively.

At first, the media reports sounded as if an unknown aggressive man decided to settle scores with an idol at the gates. The facts were quickly dispelled by the authorities, specifically indicating that the man did not behave aggressively toward others. The malefactor was arrested by security guards, after which it is possible that he expressed a desire to see Drake personally. The police reported that the individual showed signs of mental stress and possible alcohol or drug intoxication. The perpetrator was arrested according to the “Mental Health Act”, the police showed concern for his health, and assistance to the doctor.
This new development comes as yet another horrifying incident for Drake’s security team just a few days after the terrifying occurrence on Tuesday morning. According to the available reports, a security guard stationed just outside the mansion was the victim of a drive-by shooting, with the investigation still underway. Law enforcement has, however, assured the public there is no correlation between the two occurrences.
The highly public relationship between Drake and his security has been further marred by the timing of all these events. With the month of May already plagued by scandals involving his rap feud with Kendrick Lamar, the two rappers unleashed diss tracks over the weekend, brutally insulting each other with a string of personal accusations.
Although the actual reasons of the suspect who endeavored to enter The Embassy are yet to be determined, it is certain that such events demonstrate how severely threatened such celebrities as Drake are. The long-standing exposure to the society, the accessibility of world fame significantly increase the risk of meeting mentally ill “fans”.
This breach of the established order inquires about how secure The Embassy is. Could he avoid some perimeter checks? Was his behavior disregarded prior to reaching the main gate of the institution? I believe that these investigations are being conducted in order to eliminate the possibility of repeating these occurrences.
Drake and his security team have certainly been put on notice in the last two days. With Kendrick Lamar taking jabs at him, and the investigation into the shooting still ongoing, everyone will be keeping an eye on The Embassy, hoping that enough security is provided to turn the rapper’s Toronto pad into an indestructible fortress.
