One man was rushed to hospital after officers responded to a shooting around 2 a.m. near Post Road and Park Lane Circle, Toronto police said. The intersection is just north of Drake’s mansion. 

Paramedics say they transported a man to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. 

A suspect fled in a vehicle, police said without offering any descriptions.

The incident comes amid a rap feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar that hit a fever pitch in the last week as both released multiple tracks with unsubstantiated allegations about each other. 

There is no indication the feud is connected to the shooting.
