Drake's Toronto mansion has been the site of two incidents prompting police involvement this week.

CityNews reports a break-in attempt at the Bridle Path property around 2 p.m. on May 8, with police back at the residence just one day after a security guard was shot outside. 


“Officers were called after a person attempted to gain access to the property,” according to a police spokesperson. “The person was apprehended under the Mental Health Act.”

Police have not released any further details regarding the apprehended person, or any relation between the break-in and the shooting the day before. The shooting took place after 2 a.m. on May 7, with the victim taken to hospital for serious injuries.

A Google Maps image of Drake's Toronto home was featured on the cover of Kendrick Lamar’s "Not Like Us" diss track aimed at Drake, part of a heated battle between the two rap titans.

The location of the residence was already well known in Toronto, with the house featured in the video for Toosie Slide in 2020.

Police have said it's too soon to comment on a motive behind the shooting.

Here’s Why Eminem Is Credited on Justin Bieber’s ‘SWAG’ Album

Slim Shady received a lyricist credit on "Yukon," which also features background vocals from 2 Chainz.

Justin Bieber returned with his R&B-leaning SWAG album on Friday (July 11). Among the surprises sifting through the 21-track LP, fans discovered that Eminem (Marshall Mathers) is listed as a composer-lyricist on “Yukon.”

However, it’s not what one might think when it comes to a traditional writer or guest vocalist credit on a particular song.
