    Drake’s massive Toronto home flooded during a severe rainstorm on Tuesday.

    Drake was affected by the severe rainstorms in Toronto as he shared videos of his flooded home on social media.

    In an Instagram Story shared Tuesday, the “Hotline Bling” rapper filmed an unidentified man pushing against glass double doors as water rushed from what seemed to be a closet and into a bathroom.

    Panning around the room, he could be seen walking through ankle-deep water with a broom in attempts to push the water out of the room.

    Water could also be heard rushing into the room despite their efforts.

    Nonetheless, he seemingly brushed off the occurrence as he captioned the clip, “This better be Espresso Martini.”

    The rapper has yet to give any other updates on the conditions of his home and his reps didn’t answer Page Six’s requests for comment.

    The 50,000 square-foot mansion, which is nicknamed The Embassy, was conceptualized by Drake and Canadian architectural and interior designer Ferris Rafauli.

    It boasts a great room with a 40-foot ceiling, exotic wood floors, a limestone entryway and an NBA regulation-size indoor basketball court.

    “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 in 2020.

    He later described the “modern Art Deco” pad as “overwhelming high luxury.”

    “That message is delivered through the size of the rooms and the materials and details of the floors and the ceilings,” he added.

    On Tuesday, the Greater Toronto area was affected by torrential rain, accumulating around four inches of water, according to the City of Toronto .

    The storm has left over 167,000 people without power with no estimated time of when it will be restored.
