A group of “armed assailants” attacked Drake’s Toronto residence in the middle of the night last May, according to a U.S. federal defamation lawsuit filed by the musician against his record label Universal Music Group (UMG). The suit reveals explosive new details about an incident that left a security guard suffering life-threatening injuries.
On May 7, 2024, while the Toronto rapper was at home, a car carrying the assailants pulled up to Drake’s Bridle Path mansion, the suit says. Once the car stopped in front of the residence, someone yelled “f—- Drake” before at least one gunman began to fire shots. The suit claims that one bullet went through the security gate and hit Drake’s front door, while another bullet struck a security guard.
