"Kendrick done sent the plague"— Fans react as Drake's Toronto mansion gets flooded, rapper shares viral video

On July 16, Canadian rapper Drake took to his Instagram Story to share a clip from his Toronto mansion, “The Embassy,” which appeared completely flooded with muddy water.

“This better be Espresso Martini,” Drizzy captioned the video joking about the brownish color of the ankle-high water and comparing it to his preferred drink.

It showed him walking around barefoot with a broom in his hand from behind the camera while another person tried to hold the doors to another room, seemingly to keep the water from flooding the floor more.

The flood inside Drake’s mansion resulted from severely bad weather in the city induced by heavy storms and rainfall, which reportedly brought the Toronto metro area to a standstill.

Since Drake’s 10-second footage became viral, the internet has had hilarious reactions, including people joking that Kendrick Lamar invoked the flood to Drake’s Toronto residence.

For instance, an Instagram user with the handle @m.lonnae took to the comment section of The Shade Room’s repost of the video and quipped:

Here are some other similar reactions from X:

“Kendrick Lamar not recycling so global warming floods Drake’s mansion… He might really be the GOAT,” a person wrote.

“Kendrick must have been behind it,” a user wrote.

“Even mother nature is on Kendrick’s side,” another user wrote.

“Kendrick has gone too far this time. Leave that man alone. ‘Not Dry Like Us’ dropping tomorrow, probably,” a netizen wrote.

“Somebody said Hurricane Kenny,” another netizen wrote.

Some even suggested rapper and record producer Rick Ross was involved, considering he was ousted from Canada earlier this month for trying to play Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track Not Like Us.

“Rick Ross visited and clogged his toilet,” an individual wrote.

"Even the water is dissing him," another individual wrote.

Notably, 6 God’s home in Bridle Park, Toronto, is valued at a whopping $100 million, which he purchased in 2019. It is spread across 50,000 square feet and was featured in the 2020 music video for Tootsie Side.

Drake’s Toronto mansion flooded following a record-breaking rainfall

According to Environment Canada’s weather report obtained by BBC, three distinct storms culminated into a torrential downpour of approximately four inches (100 mm), which badly affected the Greater Toronto Area on Tuesday, July 16.

The report suggested that the daily average rainfall was record-breaking and hadn’t been like this since 1941. Local meteorologist Dave Phillips said in a statement to news station CP24:

“We had 25 percent more rain in three hours than we’d have normally in the whole month of July with all the thunderstorms and systems that moved through.”

Like Drake’s mansion, most of the houses in the city were flooded, and many were left without power for several hours. Over 167,000 citizens were affected, while traffic came to a complete halt. Airports, railway stations, and highways also remained unserviceable.

Search and rescue operations by the government were deployed to help people and evaluate the nature of damages incurred to public and private properties. The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority warned people from going near the shore areas.
