Drake appears to be taking a flooded home in stride. The rapper shared a look at the damage inside what appears to be his Toronto mansion as the city was hit by torrential rain on Tuesday.
On his Instagram Story, Drake posted a video from inside a luxurious closet-like room while his feet were submerged in murky brown water that rose up around his ankles. In the clip, he is accompanied by an unidentified individual dressed all in black who tries to brace himself against a glass door. Drake appears to be holding his camera in one hand and a broom in the other as he walks toward the room’s exit.
“This better be an Espresso Martini,” he joked in the caption written on the video.
According to CNNToronto was hit by a devastating storm on Tuesday that submerged city streets, shut down transportation and left tens of thousands without power. Pearson International Airport reported that 97 millimeters (or 3.82 inches) of rain were recorded.
Drake previously shared an inside look at his hometown mansion in a 2020 issue of Architectural summary. The mansion, dubbed “The Embassy”, features an opulent “modern Art Deco” design and was described by the 37-year-old rapper as “extremely luxurious”.
“Since I was building in my hometown, I wanted the structure to stand strong for 100 years. I wanted it to have a monumental scale and feel,” Drake told the outlet. “It will be one of the things I leave behind, so it had to be timeless and strong.”
More recently, Drake’s ownership of The Six was the site of a shooting that left his security guard seriously injured in May. The incident occurred amid Drake rap fight with Kendrick Lamaralthough authorities did not indicate whether the two circumstances may have been related at the time.
Days later, Champagne Papi took to his Instagram story to beg a local media outlet about helicopters allegedly flying over his house at inconvenient times. “@cp24breaking news can we discuss the timing of the helicopters flying over the house because I’m not going to lie I’m trying to sleep anytime after 3pm which works really well for me,” he joked.
