Man detained for attempting to enter Drake's home
By Brandon Drenon
Police have detained a man for allegedly attempting to enter Canadian rapper Drake’s home in Toronto.
The incident occurred just a day after a security guard was shot by suspects in a vehicle outside the same residence.
Police have not said there is any connection between the two incidents.
For weeks, Drake has been entangled in a heated rap battle with Kendrick Lamar. However, the rap beef has not been connected to these recent events.
It has not been made clear whether Drake was at home during either incident.
Giving details of Wednesday’s alleged break-in attempt – in a statement obtained by CNN – police said they arrived at Drake’s home at 14:00 EDT (18:00 GMT) after they were notified that “a person attempted to gain access to the property”.
The person was “apprehended” under Ontario’s Mental Health Act and then given medical assistance, said Ashley Visser in the statement.
The Mental Health Act enables police to take those appearing to suffer from a mental health disorder into custody – rather than make an arrest – so they can get medical treatment.
