Police called to Drake’s Toronto mansion for third time in week

-

Drake’s home was the subject of a trespassin­g incident Thursday.

Police were called about a trespasser at the superstar rapper’s Canada home around 3:30 p.m. Thursday, according to Toronto Police spokespers­on Shannon Eames. The trespasser was involved in an “altercatio­n” with security guards before the police arrived and was later taken to the hospital.

The “Rich Baby Daddy” hitmaker has been the subject of three police-involved incidents at his Toronto home in a week, including an early morning shooting of a security guard outside of his mansion’s gates Tuesday. Then, Toronto Police Service officers were called to Drake’s home around 2 p.m. Wednesday after an individual “attempted to gain access to the property.”

Police could not disclose the individual’s identity in the break-in because the person was apprehende­d under the Ontario Mental Health Act, meaning the incident is not being treated as a criminal matter. But Eames said that the person involved in the Thursday incident was not apprehende­d under the Ontario Mental Health Act.

The trio of police-involved incidents come amid the rapper’s highly contentiou­s feud with Compton emcee Kendrick Lamar, which includes diss tracks featuring numerous accusation­s between the two.
