Police dropped press conference. Not much but new updates. Bodyguard is in SERIOUS condition. Multiple suspects. They have low quality video footage so it's hard to see the vehicle, not releasing the make or model at this time

Iconic rapper Drake was not the victim of a shooting at his Bridle Path mansion early Tuesday.

But one of his security guards stationed at the front of the 21 Park Lane Circle home was.

He is 48 years old and was struck by multiple gunshots about 2:10 a.m. in what has been described by witnesses as a drive-by shooting.

One of the wounds was to the upper chest. The victim was taken to Sunnybrook Hospital by ambulance via an emergency run.

“He was taken in for surgery,” said a person with information on the situation.

It is believed the wounds are not considered life-threatening.

It’s still unclear if Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Graham, was home though a source says he has been in Toronto in recent days.

But sources say whoever was in the home has so far not been interviewed by Toronto Police, who have erected yellow tape around the property.

Discussions to allow people inside the $100-million home with its own basketball court to be interviewed by police have been taking place.

While there is no known motive for this shooting, it does come amid an ongoing rap feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

It’s also not the first violent call for police at the home or the first time Drake has been in the vicinity of a shooting.

On March 30, 2021, a woman allegedly armed with a knife was arrested after allegedly assaulting a security guard outside the mansion.

In 2015, a shooting at the Muzik Nightclub on the CNE grounds during the Drake afterparty following his OVO concert saw Duvel Hibbert, 23, and Ariela Navarro-Fenoy, 26, murdered.

Drake was not injured.

Jaiden Jackson, 28, was shot to death at Drake’s Pick 6ix club on Wellington St. on May 20, 2018.

This time, police, who have closed the whole street, are trying to determine a motive for this shooting or an intended victim.
