Toronto police are investigating a shooting that left a security guard seriously injured outside rapper Drake’s mansion in the Bridle Path neighborhood. The incident occurred early Tuesday morning (May 7), with suspects fleeing in a vehicle after shooting the guard outside. Police are reviewing surveillance video. Drake was not home at the time, and he is cooperating with the investigation. Drake’s London OVO store has also been vandalized with someone spraypainting “They Not Like Us,” the name of Kendrick Lamar’s recent Drake diss, on the front window. The shooting comes amid a heated feud between Drake and rapper Kendrick Lamar, though police have not confirmed a motive for the incident.
