Security Breaches Continue At Drake's Toronto Mansion, Police Called For Third Time

Police were summoned to rapper Drake’s Toronto mansion on Thursday afternoon (May 9) in response to a person attempting to trespass on the property. This week, the rapper’s Bridle Path residence attracted copious amounts of police action due to persistent trespassing by unidentified individuals. All three incidences occurred amidst Drake’s continuing spat with Kendrick Lamar, which has resulted in more than a half-dozen diss singles. But there’s no proof that the events at his estate are related to the rap feud in any way.

Trespassers on Drake’s property were apprehended by his security force on Wednesday and Thursday and then taken into custody by the police. The first individual was detained by the Ontario Mental Health Act, according to Rolling Stone, and as a result, his name was kept confidential. The event is not being investigated as a criminal case.

NBC News reports that Drake’s security stopped a second individual who tried to break in outside his residence on Thursday afternoon. The trespasser was brought to the hospital as a result of the altercation that followed. The second trespasser’s information has not yet been made public by Toronto Police.

Both instances came after a shootout outside Drake’s Bridle Path estate earlier this week, in which one of his security guards seemed to have been shot. According to Toronto Police Inspector Paul Krawczyk, who spoke with Rolling Stone, the man was brought to the hospital with “very serious injuries” and is still there.

The suspect is said to have driven off in a car after the shooting, but neither the individual nor the vehicle’s description has been released. The inquiry is still in progress. Meanwhile, the third trespasser was not apprehended under the Mental Health Act. Around 3:30 p.m., police were called to Drake’s residence, according to Toronto Police spokesman Shannon Eames, who spoke with USA Today. Before police arrived, the trespasser got into a fight with security personnel, and the perpetrator was eventually brought to the hospital.

It’s important to note that Lamar included an aerial photo of Drake’s house on the cover of his diss single Not Like Us, which he released on May 4. Fans and critics, citing the battle between Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G., are reportedly worried that the back-and-forth might have real-life repercussions, according to Variety.
