The shooting occurred amid a rap beef between Drake and California rapper Kendrick Lamar. The two released several diss tracks aimed at each other over the weekend, which included unsubstantiated allegations and personal insults.
One of the tracks released by Lamar, titled "Not Like Us," features a Google Maps image of Drake's Bridle Path mansion.
Toronto police have said they have not established a motive behind the shooting, and it was too early to tell if is connected to the feud.
