Drake shared a video of his Toronto mansion suffering from severe flooding during a massive storm that hit the Canadian city on Tuesday.

The 37-year-old rapper posted a clip to his Instagram Stories, seemingly from his point of view, showing him wading through his luxury dressing room with ankle-deep water.

Water covers the floor, and a man stands in front of the locker room doors, struggling in vain to keep them closed against the deluge.

Showing his characteristic wit, Drake compared the brown water to a coffee-flavored cocktail, captioning the clip: “This better be an Espresso Martini.”

According to information gathered by Environment Canada, the torrential rains left more than 100,000 Canadian citizens without electricity, while the ten centimetres of rain that fell in Toronto broke the city’s rainfall record dating back to 1941.

Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Graham, made waves in 2015 when he broke ground on his lavish Toronto home, purchasing the land for $6.7 million.

He is said to have invested $100 million in the construction of this vast estate, located on one of the most prestigious streets in Canada.

Despite the private nature of his residence, the artist has occasionally offered fans glimpses of his luxurious property on social media, showcasing features like his private basketball court.

The flooding comes two months after Drake’s $100 million estate, dubbed the Embassy, ​​was the target of several break-in attempts.

On May 11, Drake’s security team reportedly arrested another suspected intruder at the rapper’s home for the third time in a week — not including the drive-by shooting of another guard.

In photos and footage obtained by TMZ, a man is seen holding another man, who has his arms behind his back, on the lawn outside the gates.

It was reported that one of the security guards called for help while the other overpowered the suspected intruder without much effort.

Toronto Police Service told the outlet that officers arrived at Drake’s home at 3:30 p.m. ET and then escorted a lone man off the property after he refused to leave. The unidentified man was later issued a ticket.

The first incident involved a shooting of a security guard in the early hours of the morning outside the gates of his mansion on May 8.

Toronto police told DailyMail.com they could not confirm whether the Hotline Bling singer was at his home at the time of the shooting.

A few days later, around 2 p.m., police were called to his home after an intruder tried to enter his house.

Once again, police responded to another call about an intruder around 3:30 p.m. the next day, according to a statement from Toronto police spokesperson Shannon Eames, reported by USA Today.

The intruder was reportedly involved in an “altercation” with several security guards outside Drake’s $100 million mansion before police arrived.

The intruder was then taken to hospital.

It’s unclear whether there is a connection between the intruders, or the drive-by shooting, and the widely publicized feud between Drake and Lamar, 36, which was fueled via viral diss tracks.

Although police said they were aware of the feud, they said there was currently no indication the incidents were linked.

However, the shooting and attempted invasion of Drake’s Toronto mansion came after Lamar provoked him by using his home as cover.

Over the past few months, the rival rappers have been releasing diss tracks against each other.

For his track “Not Like Us,” Lamar used an image of Drake’s mansion covered in markers from a sex offender app.

In the meantime, if necessary, Drake can seek refuge from the Toronto floods in his $15 million mansion in Texas.
