Canadian rapper Drake was not the victim of a shooting at his Bridle Path mansion on Tuesday. The Toronto Sun reported Tuesday one of Drake’s security guards, 48, stationed in front of his mansion was. The security guard was struck by multiple gunshots at around 2:10 a.m. in what witnesses have described as a drive-by shooting. One of the bullets went into his upper chest. The victim was rushed to Sunnybrook Hospital by ambulance. “He was taken in for surgery,” said a source. The wounds are considered non-life threatening. While it is unclear if Drake was home, a source indicated he has been in Toronto in recent days. Sources said the people who were in the mansion have not been interviewed by the Toronto Police Service (TPS). However, conversations to let officers into the mansion to conduct interviews with people inside it are ongoing. While there is no known motive for this shooting, it does come amid an ongoing rap feud between Drake and American rapper Kendrick Lamar. Although this incident has alarmed TPS, it is not first violent call for it at the home or the first time Drake has been near a shooting. In 2021, a woman allegedly armed with a knife was arrested after allegedly attacking a security guard near the mansion. When a shooting happened at Muzik Nightclub during the Drake afterparty following his OVO concert in 2015, Toronto residents Duvel Hibbert, 23, and Ariela Navarro-Fenoy, 26, were murdered. Drake was not affected by it. Toronto resident Jaiden Jackson, 28, was shot to death at Drake’s bar Pick 6ix Sports in 2018. At the moment, TPS are trying to find the shooting's motive and the intended target.
