Drake, the acclaimed rapper and Toronto native, is dealing with the aftermath of severe weather in his hometown as his opulent mansion transforms into a waterlogged spectacle reminiscent of a not-so-fun water park.
In a recent social media post, affectionately referring to himself as Champagne Papi, Drake shared a glimpse inside his sprawling estate, revealing brown liquid coursing through what appears to be a walk-in closet area. Despite the challenging situation, Drake’s house staff can be seen valiantly trying to protect his wardrobe while the rapper himself navigates the flooded space with a broom, humorously quipping about the brownish water possibly being an Espresso Martini.
While large sections of Toronto reel under the impact of heavy rainfall from three significant storms, leaving residents stranded and powerless, Drake’s mansion remains powered amidst the intense flooding. The city received nearly 4 inches of rain in a single day, shattering an 80- year-old record and causing widespread chaos.
This latest incident adds to a series of challenges faced by Drake’s mansion in recent months, including a drive-by shooting and a string of alleged trespassing incidents during his feud with Kendrick Lamar. With a reported value exceeding $100 million and boasting a massive 50,000 square feet of space, Drake’s lavish abode has certainly seen its fair share of tumult.
As the cleanup efforts loom large in Drake’s agenda for 2024, alongside his anticipated career resurgence post-“Not Like Us,” the rapper remains resilient in the face of adversity, showcasing a blend of humor and composure even in the midst of a watery predicament that has put a dampener on his luxury living experience.
