Drake’s security guard was shot overnight outside the famed rapper’s $100 million Toronto mansion in what witnesses have described as a drive-by shooting.

The 48-year-old guard was struck around 2:10 a.m. ET by multiple gunshots, one of which landed in his upper chest, according to the Toronto Sun.

An ambulance transported the unconscious victim to Sunnybrook Hospital and was taken into surgery.

His injuries are not considered life-threatening, the outlet reported.

Police could not confirm if the “One Dance” rapper, 37, was inside the house, which sits on Park Lane Circle in the ritzy Bridle Path neighborhood, at the time of the shooting.

Toronto Police, who remain on the scene, surrounded the OVO founder’s property with yellow tape. A rep for Drake had no comment.

The shooting outside of Drake’s property comes amid his ongoing feud with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar.

The two performers have been releasing numerous diss tracks about each other these past few weeks after their former friendship completely disintegrated.

“😂😂😂😂 nahhhh hold on can someone find my hidden daughter pls and send her to me…these guys are in shambles 🤣🤣🤣,” the Canadian rapper wrote alongside a photo of himself looking somber Friday night.

Drake, however, concealed the existence of his son, Adonis, for years until rapper Pusha T exposed his identity in “The Story of Adidon.” The “Toosie Slide” rapper since has leaned into his role as a father.

Lamar, 36, also accused Drake of being a “pedophile” in the track “Not Like Us,” but once again the “disgusted” rapper denied the claim in his own tune, “The Heart Part 6.”
