A major police operation is underway near rapper Drake’s luxury home in Toronto following a shooting in his neighborhood Monday night.

A security perimeter, demarcated by police tape and patrol vehicles, was set up near the international star’s residence, which is located in the affluent Bridle Path area.
Authorities have not confirmed any connection between Drake and the shooting, or whether he was home at the time.
Police responded to the scene shortly after 2 a.m. Tuesday after receiving reports of a shooting near Bayview and Lawrence avenues.
Police said a man was taken to hospital following the shooting with serious injuries.
A suspect fled in a vehicle, police said, but no description of the suspect or vehicle was provided.
The police presence outside Drake’s house comes amid a feud between the Toronto star and Kendrick Lamar.
The lyrical exchanges between the two rappers came to a head last week, as they both released several tracks that included unproven allegations directed at each other.
There is no indication that the shooting is linked to this quarrel.
