Toronto, Canada – In a dramatic turn of events, Canadian rapper Aubrey Graham, known professionally as Drake, found his lavish 50,000-square-foot Toronto mansion, dubbed “The Embassy,” engulfed by floodwaters during the city’s recent record-breaking rainstorms.
The renowned musician took to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday to document the shocking scene unfolding at his residence, designed by renowned Canadian architect Ferris Rafauli. Footage captured by Drake showed a man struggling to keep the rushing water from breaching the home’s glass double doors and spilling into the bathroom.
“The water better be espresso martini,” Drake quipped in one of his Instagram posts, acknowledging the surreal and somewhat comical nature of the situation.
Toronto has been hit by a series of intense rainstorms over the past few days, leading to widespread power outages and the displacement of numerous individuals across the city. The unprecedented rainfall has overwhelmed the city’s infrastructure, causing severe flooding in many neighborhoods, including the area surrounding Drake’s high-profile property.
In the video shared by the rapper, the sheer force of the floodwaters rushing into his expansive mansion was evident, underscoring the extent of the damage caused by the severe weather event. While no further details have been provided regarding the full impact on Drake’s property, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the growing threat posed by extreme weather patterns in urban centers.
As the city works to recover from the aftermath of the storms, the flooding at Drake’s residence has added to the overall sense of disruption and the urgent need for infrastructure improvements to better withstand such natural disasters in the future.
