Following a contentious two weeks for the musician, Drake has made an appeal to the media. The Canadian celebrity has been in the news recently due to his spat with Kendrick Lamar, in which the two have been exchanging personal jabs. A few days later, there was a drive-by shooting in front of Drake’s house. A security guard was shot in the chest on Tuesday, May 7, and when police came on the scene, they discovered him unconscious. It is thought that the guard was shot at around two in the morning when he was standing in front of the property, outside the gates. After then, he was taken to a nearby hospital suffering from severe wounds.

According to authorities, one suspect drove away from the scene. Although Drake’s team is assisting with the investigation, authorities were unable to establish whether the rapper was at home when the shooting occurred. A few days later, someone attempted to break into Drake’s mansion, and hours later, another was seen outside. After fighting with security guards, the second invader was transported to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. According to Toronto Police Service, a third burglar was led off the rapper’s premises on Saturday, May 11. Drake recently made mention of the intense curiosity about his home on Instagram in a message to the Canadian news outlet CP24. “Can we talk about the helicopter flight times over the house?” he wrote.
