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.
