There are fans and then there are stalkers — and unsurprisingly, Drake has both. According to the Toronto Sun, a knife-wielding woman was arrested on Tuesday (March 30) after she allegedly struck a security guard with a metal pipe in an effort to get into Drake’s Toronto mansion.
Seven police cars and a Toronto EMS vehicle responded to the Bridle Path estate around 5:30 p.m., but the extent of the guard’s injuries are currently unknown. Bystanders at the scene noticed police were securing evidence, including the metal pipe and knife. But the woman wasn’t anywhere close to finding her intended target.
“The perpetrator did not get anywhere near Drake,” a source said. “In fact, the intruder did not make it past the front gate.“

Although it’s unclear if the multi-platinum star was home at the time of the incident, police are treating the case as if he was. So far, they haven’t released any information on the potential charges the woman is facing.

Drake moved into the $50 million mansion in 2020. During an exclusive interview with Architectural Digest last year, Drake fans were privy to a closer look at the expansive property.
Conceptualized by Canadian architectural and interior designer Ferris Rafauli, the house boasts 50,000 square feet and numerous amenities, including an NBA regulation-size indoor basketball court crowned by a 21-square-foot pyramidal skylight, a Bösendorfer concert grand piano designed by Rafauli and Takashi Murakami and a 3,200-square-foot master-bedroom.
“Because I was building it in my hometown, I wanted the structure to stand firm for 100 years,” he explained to AD at the time. “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.”
