Police say the suspect fled in a vehicle, although no descriptions of both the suspect and the vehicle involved were provided. A source confirmed to CBC Toronto that the investigation is centred at the rap star's 50,000-square-foot mega-mansion.
Toronto police have since taped off the "Family Matters" rapper's home, and the investigation is ongoing.

The shooting comes amid an escalating rap beef between the Toronto rapper and Kendrick Lamar, who used a satellite view of Drake's Bridle Path mansion covered in U.S. sex offender registry map pins for the cover art of his diss track, "Not Like Us."
