Amid an escalating feud with Kendrick Lamar, in which Drake was accused of widespread sexual abuse and with threats of violence from both sides, it has just been revealed that an unnamed man was reportedly injured in a shooting outside Drake’s luxury Toronto property early this morning (May 7). The victim, who was found by responding officers at the scene, is confirmed not to be Drake, who is cooperating with authorities. 

The news arrives mere minutes after it was announced that Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” diss track against Drake, which features a satellite photograph of Drake’s property along with red markers typically used to indicate the registered home of a sexual offender, has broken the all-time record for most streams in a single day on US Spotify. The record was previously set by Drake himself, whose track “Girls Want Girls” reached 6.593 million streams. 

In line with what has rapidly become one of hip-hop’s most surreal series of events, ranging from Drake’s AI appropriations of Tupac to Masego and Metro Boomin’s saxophonic accusations that Drake has received a BBL, conspiracy theories have run wild with this latest news.
