Intruder tries to break into Drake's house one day after his security guard was shot outside

An intruder has tried to break into Drake's $100 million mansion just one day after his security guard was shot in the vicinity. 

The Toronto Police Service has told DailyMail.com a person tried to access the Bridle Path property - and ended up brawling with security officers outside. 

They added that the intruder, who has not been named, was detained under the Mental Health Act. In Ontario this law allows cops to take people into custody if they are posing a threat to others or themselves. 

It comes as Drake's security guard was left fighting for his life after being gunned down outside the property in a drive-by shooting the day before. 

Police said the Wednesday intrusion is not linked to the shooting.

The musician is currently embroiled in a viral feud with rival rapper Kendrick Lamar. Although officials have not indicated any early link to the shooting, Drake is said to be 'cooperating' with investigators. 

The incident unfolded in the upscale neighborhood of Bridle Path shortly after 2am Tuesday, as the unnamed 48-year-old man was rushed to hospital after being found 'outside the gates of the home' with life-threatening injuries. 

He was reportedly lured outside the home by a car which was blaring loud music.  

Toronto Police told DailyMail.com they could not confirm if the rapper was home at the time of the shooting.  

A suspect fled the scene in a vehicle, and reports indicate they are still at large. 

Sources told the Toronto Sun that the victim was Drake's security guard, and witnesses said he was shot multiple times during a 'drive-by shooting.' 

The area around Drake's mansion, built by the star in 2015 for a reported $100 million, was restricted by a police perimeter amid the ongoing investigation.

The victim was said to have been 'standing outside the gates of the home' when he was hit by several gunshots, and was found on the street with serious injuries. 

He was raced to Sunnybrook Hospital and received emergency surgery, with one of the wounds believed to be to the upper chest. Officials later described his condition as 'life threatening.' 

Police were seen on the steps of the star's huge Toronto mansion on Tuesday, as sources said the rapper offered his cooperation with the investigation

Officials have released no evidence at this time that the shooting is related to the viral feud with Kendrick Lamar (pictured last week in New York City) 

Around an hour earlier, a man was shot dead and a woman was injured in another shooting in Oakwood Village, roughly nine miles away. It is unclear if the two shootings are related. 

Earlier reports from police said the shooting occurred several streets away, but the information was later corrected to state it was outside the rapper's home. Sources told CP24 that Drake has offered to cooperate with investigators as they probe the shooting.

The location of the shooting at Drake's Toronto mansion comes amid his ongoing feud with rival rapper Kendrick Lamar, who used the same mansion to taunt Drake this week. 

As the two men have released 'diss tracks' against each other the last few weeks, Lamar shared the cover for his track 'Not Like Us', featuring Drake's mansion covered in markers for a sex offender app. 

At a Tuesday press conference, Inspector Paul Krawczyk said there is no known evidence at this time that the shooting is related to Drake's viral feud with Lamar, and the motive remains unclear. 

'It is so early in the investigation that we don't have a motive at this time,' he said.  

The suspect in the shooting fled the scene, police said, and investigators have yet to release any descriptions of either the gunman or the vehicle.

Drake made headlines in 2015 by paying $6.7 million for the plot of land before shelling out a staggering $100 million to construct the palatial estate 

Although he is known to be private over details about the property, Drake has offered fans a glimpse at the luxury home on social media, including showing off his private basketball court 

Discussions to set up police interviews inside the huge mansion are taking place, reports the Toronto Sun. 

Drake - real name Aubrey Graham - made headlines when he set out to build the palatial home in 2015, and purchased the plot of land it sits on for $6.7 million. 

He then spent a reported $100 million constructing the huge estate, which is situated on one of the highest value streets in all of Canada. 

The artist is known to be private around details with his residence, although he has occasionally offered fans a glimpse at the luxury property on social media, including showing his private basketball court. 

The shooting in the early hours of Tuesday is not the first time the home has been involved in serious incidents. 

On March 30, 2021, a woman was arrested outside the mansion after allegedly attacking a security guard with a knife.
