Drake’s Mansion Flooded, Kendrick Lamar Fans Turn It Into a Comedy Show
Toronto has been hit hard by a torrential downpour, and even Drake’s lavish mansion, “The Embassy,” wasn’t spared. The near-record-breaking rainfall, which wrapped up late Monday and into Tuesday, caused significant chaos across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Roads and highways were closed, power outages affected around 167,000 customers, and three Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) subway stations experienced flooding.
Drake took to Instagram to share a short video of yellowish water rushing into his home, humorously captioning it, “This better be espresso martini.” Despite the clear stress of the situation, Drake managed to keep his spirits up.
However, it wasn’t just Drake who was making light of the flood. Kendrick Lamar fans took the opportunity to troll the “Push Ups” artist, flooding social media with jokes. Some of the funniest tweets included, “Kendrick Lamar not recycling so global warming floods Drake’s mansion… He might really be the GOAT,” and “Kendrick brought the biblical flood to Drake.”
