Drake's Toronto home was taped off Tuesday morning after a shooting, according to reports.
The shooting took place outside Drake's house just after 2 a.m., according to City News and CBC News, and Toronto Police confirmed the incident in a X post Tuesday morning. A man was transported to the hospital with serious injuries and a suspect fled the scene in a vehicle, according to the social media post by police. Police confirmed to City News Drake was not the person injured.
Reps for Drake did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment.
Police did not immediately release a description of the suspect nor the vehicle. The incident in the "One Dance" rapper's neighborhood comes as the 37-year-old has been making headlines. He's been in the news for a highly contentious, weekslong feud with rap genre peer, Kendrick Lamar, which has featured numerous diss tracks.
The Canadian rapper's feud with the Pulitzer Prize-winning Compton lyricist has spurred a series of public accusations from secret children to sexual assault.
In his diss tracks, Lamar claimed Drake has a secret daughter, gambling and drug addictions, that he has predators on his label's payroll, and should be in a "cell" with Harvey Weinstein while Drake alleged that Lamar physically abused his fiancée, that Lamar's child might not be his and that the California rapper is living a double life full of infidelity.
Drake's house is also a notable centerpiece within the topic of discussion between the two rappers. His opulent house is well-known among his fans and the mega-mansion is featured on the cover of Lamar's "Not Like Us," one of many diss tracks aimed at Drake where he suggests that sex offenders live there.
