Two Attempted Break-ins at Drake's Toronto Home: Is His Feud with Kendrick Lamar a Factor?

In a series of unfortunate events, Drake's Toronto home has been the site of two attempted break-ins within two days. The first incident occurred on Wednesday, just one day after a security guard working at Drake's residence was shot. On Thursday afternoon, another person trespassed on the property and got into an altercation with Drake's security personnel before being taken to the hospital. These incidents come amidst the rapper's ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar, which has seen two diss tracks released by both artists in recent days. While there have been no official statements from Drake or his representatives regarding the incidents, local police have not yet established a link between the feud and the attempted break-ins. The Toronto Police Department has stated that they are investigating both incidents and are working to determine if there is any connection between them.
