A security guard shot outside the Toronto mansion of Canadian rap superstar Drake remains in hospital in serious condition.
The Toronto Police Service says the shooting occurred around 2:00 a.m. near Bayview and Lawrence avenues in the affluent Bridle Path neighbourhood.
The incident follows an escalating rap feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar which peaked in the last few days.
Inspector Paul Krawczyk with the Toronto Regional Police can’t say if Drake was at the mansion at the time, but says his team has been co-operative with police as the investigation continues.
The shooting victim was standing outside the gates to the property when the shooting occurred. “We have individuals who obviously performed this shooting, who were seen in a vehicle.” No description of the vehicle or its occupants is available at this time says Krawcyzk.
