Security guard shot outside Drake's Toronto mansion amid Kendrick Lamar beef

TORONTO, Canada (TND) — Police in Canada are investigating a shooting outside pop rap star Aubrey "Drake" Graham's Toronto mansion that left one man injured, a law enforcement source told the CBC.

According to the CBC's source, the victim was a security guard who was rushed to the hospital with "serious injuries" after an unknown individual drove up to the mansion's gates and unleashed a series of gunshots.

Toronto police posted about the shooting around 2:10 a.m. EST on X, formerly Twitter, citing the location as an intersection near the general location of the pop star's compound.

A representative for Graham told NBC News that Drake was not injured as a result of the incident.

The shooting comes as the embattled Drake continues to trade lyrical jabs with Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar in what has become a generation-defining rap beef.

While the conflict originally erupted between Drake and American rapper J. Cole with Lamar over their relative places in the current hip-hop monarchy in March, over the last month the fight has winnowed down to Lamar and Drake.

The two have traded extremely personal diss tracks over the last week -- two by Drake and four by Lamar -- in which the two have accused each other of morally reprehensible and possibly criminal behavior. Drake has accused Lamar of beating his fiance, Whitney Alford, while Lamar has laid a bevy of charges at the Toronto pop star's feet, including hiding a daughter, cultural appropriation, gambling and drug addictions as well as pedophilia and being a sexual predator.

Neither has provided proof of the allegations against the other.

A YouGov poll released midday Sunday found most American hip-hop fans think that Lamar is winning the feud with 26% of all hip-hop fans and 48% of all hip-hop fans closely following the beef thinking Lamar is ahead (compared to 18% and 33% for Drake, respectively). The poll was taken before Drake and Lamar released a combined five songs between Friday and Sunday.
