The victim is hospitalized in serious condition, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, including one to the chest.

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow expressed concern about the incident, emphasizing that any shooting is unwelcome in the city and hoping for swift justice.

The altercation between Drake and Lamar has escalated into a series of “diss tracks,” with Lamar’s latest song featuring artwork depicting Drake’s residence. In the song, Lamar makes allegations against Drake, which Drake vehemently denies in his response track.

Drake’s residence, known as The Embassy, has garnered attention for its security measures, including gates taller than city regulations permit.

As investigations continue, the property remains cordoned off, with police examining the scene.

Representatives for both artists have been contacted for comment by the BBC.
