Man Reportedly Shot Outside Drake’s Toronto Mansion

Toronto Police are investigating a shooting that took place early in the morning on May 7 outside Drake’s mansion.

According to reports from CBC and The Toronto Star, the entrance to the rapper’s house has been taped off after a reported shooting. The Star also reports that police are going in and out of the house as they investigate.

Toronto Police Operations posted on X that they were investigating a shooting that took place at 2:09 a.m. at Bayview Avenue and Lawrence Avenue East, near the site of Drake’s Park Lane Circle mansion in the Bridle Path neighborhood — one of the most expensive areas of Toronto.

According to the tweet, a man was transported to hospital with serious injuries and a suspect fled in a vehicle. The Toronto Star reports that it is unclear whether Drake was at home at the time.

Drake has been embroiled in an ongoing rap battle with Kendrick Lamar. The art for Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” features a Google Maps image of Drake’s Toronto house.

The location of Drake’s estate is already well known in the city, and the rapper filmed his 2020 music video for “Toosie Slide” inside.

There is reportedly a large media and police presence outside of Drake’s house as the story continues to develop.
