Toronto was lashed with four inches of rain on torrential rain, reportedly the heaviest on record since 1941.
On July 16th, the OVO showed some of the damage on his Instagram Story, where a video of ankle-deep yellow-coloured water rushing through a room in his home. Citizens suffered major power outages, highways were shut down and cops closed off parts of the city due to flooding. The area appears to be a basement room that leads to a hall where Drake displays his sports jerseys. He opened up about the 50,000 sq ft mansion, in the high-end Bridle Path area of Toronto, during a 2020 interview with Architectural Digest.
He described his home, dubbed The Embassy, as: “Overwhelming high luxury…Because I was building it in my hometown, I wanted the structure to stand firm for 100 years. I wanted it to have a monumental scale and feel. It will be one of the things I leave behind, so it had to be timeless and strong.” Despite the hazardous conditions in Toronto, Drake was plagued with jokes that the flood was another chapter in his Kendrick Lamar battle.
