It’s unclear whether Drake was present during the incident or if he was a target.

Drake is currently engaged in a public feud with US rapper Kendrick Lamar, but police stated it’s too early to determine a motive for the shooting.

Inspector Paul Krawczyk of the Integrated Gun and Gang Task Force mentioned that they are in contact with Drake’s team, who are cooperating with the investigation. They are currently reviewing video footage of the shooting.

The victim is hospitalized in serious condition, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, including one to the chest.

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow expressed concern about the incident, emphasizing that any shooting is unwelcome in the city and hoping for swift justice.

The altercation between Drake and Lamar has escalated into a series of “diss tracks,” with Lamar’s latest song featuring artwork depicting Drake’s residence. In the song, Lamar makes allegations against Drake, which Drake vehemently denies in his response track.

Drake’s residence, known as The Embassy, has garnered attention for its security measures, including gates taller than city regulations permit.

As investigations continue, the property remains cordoned off, with police examining the scene.

Representatives for both artists have been contacted for comment by the BBC.

In Drake’s latest track “The Heart Part 6,” he expresses disdain for Lamar’s claims and suggests that Lamar was misled with false information deliberately.

Lamar’s allegations, featured in his track “Not Like Us,” hint at Drake’s connections with minors and fathering a child secretly, accusations that Drake dismisses as purposefully concocted.

In response, Drake denies any inappropriate relationships or undisclosed paternity, highlighting his reputation and clean legal record.

He asserts, “Drake’s name won’t appear on any sex offender list,” vehemently denying any involvement with underage individuals. Additionally, he refutes Lamar’s assertion of a secret child, stating, “I’ve never been involved with anyone underage… Just to be clear, I find it repulsive, I’m too highly regarded.”

The feud between the two artists began with Drake’s track “First Person Shooter,” which prompted Lamar’s retaliation in “Like That.”

This exchange of diss tracks escalated further with Drake’s “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle,” the latter featuring AI versions of Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg taunting Lamar. However, the track was removed following a legal threat from Tupac’s estate.

Subsequently, Lamar released a series of diss tracks, including “Euphoria,” referencing Drake’s previous feud with Pusha T, who exposed Drake’s secret child.

These diss tracks have garnered considerable attention, with “Euphoria” currently ranking as the third most-streamed track on Spotify. Meanwhile, Drake’s diss tracks, “Family Matters” and “Push Ups,” maintain lower positions in the streaming rankings.

Artist Spotlight: TnT, talented rappers who have put Kenya on the global map

Posted on by David Kingsley

If at all there are Kenyan rappers who are keen on ensuring that Kenyan music goes beyond our beyond our borders then I’ll tell you for free that it’s a group known as TnT which is made up of Timmy Blanco and Twenny Eights.

I don’t remember the first time I listened to any of their songs but I can tell you that I was so hooked immediately so much so that I played the song titled Christopher Wallace almost 20 times. Trust, me I’m not exaggerating.

TnT reminds me of a lot Camp Mulla. Just like the latter, Timmy and Twenny decided not to go with the flow or what was popular at the time and believed that people would still listen to them and they actually do.

At the moment, Gengetone is big so much so that if you are not releasing lewd songs you would think that no one will listen to you but that is actually not the case.

These guys are so good and if you listen to any of their songs for the first time, it would not cross your mind that they are even Kenyans especially because most of their jams are in English from start to finish.

They not only have good punchlines, their wordplay is also really on point. It’s the kind of lines that you hear and you just stand to give them a standing ovation. Okay, maybe I’m pushing it but you get the point.

Their prowess is unmatched and the way I see it, their music can be consumed by just anyone; from the guys who are used to Peleka Na Rieng kind of jams to die hard Travis Scott, Drake, Tyga or even Migos fans.

One thing that makes me really happy is the fact that they are Kenyans and maybe, just maybe they will bring a BET Award home some day.

Watch their latest release dubbed Cahoots below and tell us what you think.
