Drake has faced a tumultuous period following the release of Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” featuring Kendrick Lamar. The Compton rapper’s verse on the track sparked a heated feud between him and Drake, resulting in a series of diss tracks exchanged between the two artists.
While most of the conflict has remained within the realm of music, several unrelated incidents have unfolded near Drake’s Toronto residence, attracting attention from local news outlets.
In response to the disturbances, Drake took to Instagram Stories to address the noise from helicopter flights over his house, expressing a desire for quieter times to rest.
One of the recent incidents involved a trespassing episode at Drake’s Toronto mansion on Thursday afternoon, leading to police intervention and the trespasser’s hospitalization. This marked the third disturbance at Drake’s home that week, following an early morning shooting on Tuesday and an attempted break-in on Wednesday.
Unlike the Wednesday incident, where the individual was detained under the Ontario Mental Health Act, the trespasser on Thursday was not handled as a mental health case.
These events have unfolded amidst the ongoing feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, with Lamar using an aerial photo of Drake’s home as the cover art for his diss track “Not Like Us,” adding another layer of intensity to their rivalry.
