    Drake is currently dealing with the affects of severe rainstorms in Toronto, sharing a video of his flooded mansion on social media.

    In the video, Drake walks around one of the many rooms in his massive house, showing a man trying to push glass double doors shut as murky water rushes in from what seemed to be a closet, before, sloshing down a short hallway through ankle-deep water, broom in hand. “This better be Espresso Martini,” he wrote atop the clip, trying to bring some humor into the uncontrollable devastating situation.

    The heavy rains inundating parts of Canada, left thousands without power, led to road closures, and just like Drake, hundreds of houses were flooded. For accurate numbers and updated information please refer to the official City of Toronto press release HERE .

    Additionally as shared via Toronto Fire Services on X, first responders processed nearly 1,700 calls for service, dispatching to nearly 500 incidents between 6AM and 3PM on Tuesday, which included everything from elevator rescue calls, water calls, and rescues from cars and buildings due to the significant rain.

    The severe weather also made it’s way to New York, with at least four tornadoes touching down overnight, leading to one reported death, as hundreds of thousands were left without power. Governor Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency across the state on Tuesday, noting that Central New York, Mohawk Valley and the Southern Tier had been hardest hit. More storms and heavy rain are forecast for New York Wednesday.

    Drake’s home, which he calls “The Embassy” was designed by Canadian architectural and interior designer Ferris Rafauli . The 50,000 square feet fortress includes an NBA size indoor basketball court, a recording studio, an awards room, indoor swimming pool, modern Art Deco interiors, and a chandelier featuring more than 20,000 pieces of Swarovski crystal. A lot of which can be admired in great detail in the April 2020 issue of Architectural Digest .

    Other than the one video, as of now Drizzy has yet to give any other updates on the conditions of his home.
