According to the CBC, The guard suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was not conscious when officials arrived at the home.
Recently, Drake has been involved in an ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar who recently used a photo of Drake’s residence for a diss track against the rapper. Lamar created three similar songs about Drake in 36 hours.
The feud started when Lamar hit out at the Canadian rapper and J Cole in his song “First Person Shooter”.
While Cole is no longer in the conflict, the two rappers have continued to go at it. In songs responding to Lamar’s diss tracks, Drake accuses the rapper of domestic violence. Lamar in turn has accused Drake of having a secret daughter.
In another song titled, “Not Like Us”, the “Humble” rapper called Drake a “certified paedophile” and made multiple references to his alleged interactions with younger women.
“Say, Drake, I hear you like ‘em young,” Lamar started, stating that Drake would struggle because of his alleged interests. “You better not ever go to cell block one.”
