'Altercation' at Drake's Toronto mansion marks third police-involved incident this week
Drake's home was the subject of a trespassing incident Thursday.
Police were called about a trespasser at the superstar rapper's Canada home around 3:30 p.m. on Thursday afternoon, according to Toronto Police spokesperson Shannon Eames. The trespasser was involved in an "altercation" with security guards before the police arrived and was later taken to the hospital.
The "Rich Baby Daddy" hitmaker has been the subject of three police-involved incidents at his Toronto home this week, including an early morning shooting of a security guard outside of his mansion's gates Tuesday. Then, Toronto Police Service officers were called to Drake's home around 2 p.m. Wednesday after an individual "attempted to gain access to the property."

Police could not disclose the individual's identity in the Wednesday break-in because the person was apprehended under the Ontario Mental Health Act, meaning the incident is not being treated as a criminal matter. But Eames said that the person involved in the Thursday incident was not apprehended under the Ontario Mental Health Act.

Under the act, authorities may take a person in custody to a physician for examination if officers are of the belief the person is "apparently suffering from (a) mental disorder" that could result in serious bodily harm, according to the Ontario government's website.
The trio of police-involved incidents come amid the rapper's highly contentious feud with Compton emcee Kendrick Lamar, which includes diss tracks featuring numerous accusations between the two ranging from secret children to sexual assault.
Drake's house is a notable centerpiece within the topic of discussion between the two rappers. His opulent property is well-known among his fans and the mega-mansion is featured on the cover of Lamar's buzzy diss track "Not Like Us," one of many one-offs aimed at Drake in which Lamar suggests that sex offenders live at Drake's Toronto home.
