A large police presence has blocked off an area outside Drake’s Toronto mansion after an overnight shooting nearby.
The star’s home in the affluent Bridle Path neighbourhood has been taped off by police and multiple cruisers can be seen on the street.
Officials have not confirmed any connection between Drake and the shooting, or whether he was home at the time. Representatives for Drake did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
One man was rushed to hospital after officers responded to a shooting around 2 a.m. near Post Road and Park Lane Circle, police said. The intersection is just north of the rapper’s sprawling complex.
Paramedics say they responded to that intersection and transported a man to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
A suspect fled in a vehicle, police said, but offered no description of either the suspect or vehicle.

The police presence outside the home comes amid a rap feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. The long-simmering lyrical back-and-forth between the two superstars hit a fever pitch in the last week as both released multiple tracks with unsubstantiated allegations about each other.
There is no indication the feud is connected to the shooting.
