Canadian police yesterday were investigating a predawn shooting at the home of superstar rapper Drake, whose sprawling property in a tony Toronto neighborhood remained cordoned off.

Police inspector Paul Krawczyk said a security guard at the mansion on The Bridle Path road was taken to hospital with serious injuries sustained from an apparent gunshot wound after suspects in a vehicle opened fire.

The shooting, captured on grainy security camera footage that has not been released to the public, happened at 2:09 am (0609 GMT).

The guard was standing outside the gates in front of the residence when the shooting occurred, Krawczyk told reporters.

“I cannot confirm if Drake was home at the time the incident occurred, but I can tell you that we are in contact with his team and they are cooperating,” the inspector added.

He said the suspects fled in the vehicle, but no descriptions were offered.
