Intruder arrested after attempting to break into Drake’s home

A day after an unknown assailant shot and killed a security guard at Drake’s Toronto home, an intruder was arrested for attempting to gain entry to the Bridle Path property.

Toronto police have confirmed they returned to the rapper’s home around 2 p.m. on Wednesday (May 8) to arrest the intruder. “Officers were called after an individual attempted to gain entry to the property,” a police spokesperson told Toronto CityNews. “The individual was arrested under the Mental Health Act.”

The latest incident at Drake’s sprawling mansion occurred after police arrived in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Gunmen in an unknown vehicle fired shots into the driveway of a passing vehicle, and the security guard was hospitalized for serious but non-life-threatening injuries. He remains in the hospital.

Police said it was too early to say whether the shooting was related to the ongoing dispute between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, which has gotten worse in recent weeks. On the cover of Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” which he released on Saturday, he showed a picture of Drake’s house as seen on Google Maps.

The Lamar-Drake feud has been at the forefront of pop culture since Lamar dropped a verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That” in March. What started as a war of words between Lamar and Drake quickly turned into something more sinister, with each airing the other’s dirty laundry in public and engaging in brutal shootings. The latest entry in the story came Sunday night when Drake performed “The Heart Pt. 6.”
