Emergency Hospital Transfer... No Threat to Life
100 Million Dollar Mansion Also Sealed Off
A shooting incident occurred at the mansion of Drake, the 'hip-hop legend' rapper from Canada. Drake's security guard was also seriously injured, lost consciousness, and was transported to the hospital, while the suspect remains at large. Local media including Canadian CBC News reported that the shooting took place near Drake's mansion at around 2:10 a.m. on the 7th (local time). Toronto police arrived at the scene and are currently investigating, with a police spokesperson telling the media, "It is too early at this point to comment on the suspect's motive or the specific circumstances of the incident."
One of Drake's mansion security guards was reportedly shot in the chest. When police arrived at the scene, they found him unconscious and collapsed, and he was rushed to the hospital. However, it is known that there is no serious threat to his life. According to the local police investigation, "The victim appears to have been standing outside the front gate of Drake's house when he was hit by the bullet."
The suspect is presumed to be one or more unidentified males, who are said to have fled the scene by car after the incident. Toronto police investigators are tracking the suspect based on evidence scattered at the scene and closed-circuit (CCTV) video footage.

As a result of this incident, Drake's mansion has also been sealed off. The size of his mansion is 4,645 square meters (1,045 pyeong), and its real estate value is known to exceed 100 million dollars (approximately 136 billion KRW).
Meanwhile, Drake is a famous Canadian rapper who has written numerous hit songs and acclaimed albums such as "God's Plan" and "Hotline Bling." He is also the highest-earning rapper worldwide. Recently, he attracted attention in the US and Canadian entertainment industries due to a feud with another superstar hip-hop artist, Kendrick Lamar.
This is not the first time a violent incident has occurred at Drake's mansion. In March 2021, a woman was arrested for assaulting a security guard outside his mansion.
