Drake has issued a plea to the media after what has been a controversial two weeks for the rapper.
Over the past few weeks, the Canadian star has made headlines for his feud with Kendrick Lamar , when the two launched personal attacks against each other. A day later, a drive-by shooting occurred outside Drake’s residence.
On Tuesday (May 7), a security guard was shot in the chest, and the officers found him unconscious when they arrived at the scene.
It is believed that the guard was standing outside the gates in front of the property when he was shot at around 2am. He was later taken to a local hospital with serious injuries.
One suspect fled the scene in a vehicle, police said. Officials could not confirm whether Drake was home at the time of the shooting, but said the rapper’s team is cooperating with the investigation.
A day later, an intruder attempted to break into Drake’s mansion, and another person was seen outside the residence hours later. The second intruder had an altercation with security guards and was taken to hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
On Saturday (May 11), the Toronto Police Service said TMZ the third intruder was brought from the rapper’s property.
Drake has now addressed the frantic interest in his residence on Instagram via a post sent to Canadian news organization CP24.
He wrote: “Can we discuss the chopped flight times over the house ’cause I won’t lie, I’m trying to sleep. Anytime after 3pm works great for me.”

The incidents took place days after rival Lamar kicked out Drake’s home while on a diss track against him amid an ongoing feud between the two rappers. Lamar created three similar disc songs about Drake in just 36 hours.
A rivalry between two of the biggest rappers in the world has been simmering for the past few years, heating up again in recent weeks due to the surprise tracks.
The confrontation between the two stars started a month ago when Lamar hit out at the Canadian rapper and J Cole in his song “First Person Shooter”.
Drake responded with a diss track accusing Lamar of domestic violence. Lamar accused Drake of having a secret daughter.
In another song titled “Not Like Us”, the “Humble” rapper calls Drake a “certified pedophile” and makes multiple references to alleged interactions with younger women.
Paul Krawczyk of the police service’s Integrated Gun and Gang Task Force said the motive behind the shooting at the Drake home remains under investigation.
