Drake can’t get a break these days and his home is yet again in the spotlight for the wrong reasons.
The 6 God recently posted on Instagram that his massive Toronto mansion called “The Embassy” was not immune to the record setting rainfall in the region on Tuesday, triggering flooding throughout his estate.
Widespread power outages were recorded across parts of Canada and sources say some 167,000 were without electricity following the storms.

Get this, on Drakes Gram story @champagnepapi, the “Tootsie Slide” rapper posted what appeared to be brown water flooding a vanity room, closet and more within his luxurious home.
Drizzy waded through the ankle-deep water and found a bit of fun in distressing scene by hilariously captioning the scene:
“This better be Espresso Martini.”
The 4 inches of rain across Toronto may have flooded 700 basements or more.
Drake’s mansion, was designed by Canadian architectural and interior designer Ferris Rafauli.
It’s beautiful.
The 50,000-square-foot estate features an NBA-sized indoor basketball court, a recording studio, an awards room, an indoor swimming pool, modern Art Deco interiors, and a chandelier made of over 20,000 Swarovski crystals, as highlighted in an April 2020 profile by Architectural Digest.
“Because I was building it in my hometown, I wanted the structure to stand firm for 100 years. I wanted it to have a monumental scale and feel,” Drake told Architectural Digest. “It will be one of the things I leave behind, so it had to be timeless and strong.”
Thankfully, Drake can afford the repairs and probably have to shell out hundreds of thousands to rectify the damage caused by massive flooding. Sadly many others in Toronto won’t be that lucky.
