Drake's Mansion in Toronto Attacked, Security Guard Critically Injured Amid Kendrick Lamar Feud
Drake is currently feuding with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar, but the Canadian rapper would have to put that feud on hold as his Toronto mansion was just attacked, leaving one of his security guards critically injured.
According to CP24, Toronto police have now taped off the rapper's mansion and have cordoned off the area which is located near Park Lane Circle and Post Road. Emergency crews were also called into the area after a shooting was reported there at around 2:09 AM. The attack was the one which led to the security guard being injured.
Police stated that the shots were fired from a vehicle that quickly fled the scene, making this a drive-by shooting. The shots hit the security guard, an adult male, and police noted his injuries were serious. They then later re-assessed his injuries as life-threatening soon after.
It is still unclear if Drake was inside his Toronto home during the time of the shooting, with police still not being able to release a description of the attackers. However, investigators say that they are currently reviewing the footage from nearby CCTV cameras and are already in contact with Drake and his team, who are cooperating with authorities.
It is still unclear if Kendrick Lamar, whom Drake is currently feuding with, is behind the attack. However, Lamar did reveal where Drake's Toronto mansion is located as the music video for his "Not Like Us" single featured a Google Maps image of Drake's Bridle Path mansion. Police are still investigating this angle.
"It is so early in the investigation that we don't have a motive at this time, Inspector Paul Krawczyk told reporters at the scene. Meanwhile, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow commented. "I hope the police will find the people that are violating the law and catch them."

Drake Uninjured in the Mansion Attack But His Security Guard Needed Surgery
A representative for the former child actor and now Grammy-winning rapper has confirmed that Drake was not injured in the mansion attack but that representative also could not confirm if he was home when the incident happened in Toronto.
As for the security guard working for him, new details from authorities revealed that he "suffered a gunshot wound to the upper chest and was unconscious when officers arrived." A report noted that he underwent surgery in a nearby hospital soon after, according to Sky News.
Drake's Ongoing Beef with Kendrick Lamar
The attack on Drake's mansion has sparked theories that Kendrick Lamar may be involved, though police have said that while they are well aware of the feud, it is still too early to tell.
Drake has been feuding with Lamar for years and have been dissing each other on their rap songs for a while now. However, the feud just escalated with producer Metro Boomin and rapper Future's first joint album, "We Don't Trust You," on March 22, which called out many of the most popular rappers today, including Drake and Kendrick Lamar. J. Cole bowed out of the multi-way feud early with an apology, but the seething beef between Lamar and Drake only escalated, with the Canadian being called out for a rumored plastic surgery and rumored pedophilia.
Since "We Still Don't Trust You" came out, Drake and Lamar have come at each other with diss track after diss track and airing some dirty laundry in the process.
