TORONTO, Canada – A security guard employed at the Toronto mansion of famed rapper Drake sustained critical injuries following a shooting incident. The altercation happened Tuesday evening at the celebrity’s residence, which is often under tight security.

The incident was confirmed by Toronto Police, who reported that the guard was shot while standing outside the estate’s gates. The authorities believe multiple suspects carried out the attack from within a vehicle, although details about the suspects and their car have not been disclosed. Inspector Paul Krawczyk indicated that the police have obtained video footage of the perpetrators and are actively pursuing leads.

As the guard was transported to a hospital with serious injuries, local law enforcement expressed that while the motive is currently unknown, they are engaged with Drake’s representatives, who have shown eagerness to aid the inquiry.

The shooting arrives amidst a contentious public disagreement between Drake and rapper Kendrick Lamar. Lamar has alluded to disturbing accusations against Drake in his songs, to which Drake has responded with denials. When asked if there was any connection between the dispute and the shooting, officials refrained from speculating, given the preliminary status of the investigation.

The police have not yet ascertained whether Drake was at home during the shooting. As the investigation continues, law enforcement emphasizes their commitment to uncovering the reasons behind this violent act.

Meanwhile, the international music community and Drake’s fanbase remain on alert as further developments in the case are anticipated. Authorities are calling for anyone with information on the incident to come forward.

The story is still unfolding, with more details expected in the coming days as the investigation progresses.
