It is unclear whether Drake, 37, was home at the time of the incident, and his representatives did not respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Toronto police have taped off the property on Park Lane Circle in the upscale Bridle Path neighborhood and remain on scene as the investigation continues. Although the incident was caught on tape, no description of the vehicle was provided due to “video quality issues.”
The shooting occurred during Drake’s headline-making diss track with Lamar (36).
Both artists, once close friends, have been releasing music containing scathing accusations against each other for several weeks.
In Lamar’s latest “Meet the Grahams” clip, he accused Drake of having a “hidden daughter,” which the OVO founder vehemently denied.
“😂😂😂😂 noooo wait can someone find my hidden daughter please and send her to me…these guys are a mess 🤣🤣🤣,” Drake, who notoriously hid the existence of his son Adonis for years until he was exposed by Pusha T. in 2018 – he wrote on social media on Friday.
In another song, Lamar accused Drake of being a “pedophile,” which Drake also shut down.
