Concurrently, Drake finds himself embroiled in a public dispute with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar.
The exchange between them has escalated to a daily release of songs, including a series of diss tracks targeting each other.
In Lamar’s latest release, “Not Like Us,” he uses a Google Maps image of Drake’s Bridle Path mansion as the cover art.
Drake countered with his own track, “THE HEART PART 6,” which he posted on YouTube.
Inspector Krawczyk refrained from speculating on a motive for the shooting but acknowledged the possibility of engaging with U.S. investigators regarding the incident.
