Drake’s mansion was recently used as fodder for his high-profile feud with Kendrick Lamar, with the Compton rapper using a satellite image of the property as the cover art for his scathing diss song “Not Like Us” .
The image was covered with several red marks, allegedly from a sexual predator app. In the song, Kendrick accuses Liushen and some of his close associates of being pedophiles.
“Say it, Drake, I hear you like ’em young/You better never go to Cell One/Any bitch he talks to and they love each other/Just make sure you hide your little sister from him,” he said .
He also said: “And Baka [Not Nice] There is a strange case, why is he around? Certified pedophile.
Drake refuted the accusations on his response record “The Heart Part 6,” rapping: “I never been with any minors, but now I understand why this angle you really fucked up/ Just to be clear, I feel sick, I’m too respected/If I slept with a young girl, I guarantee I’d be arrested/I’m too famous for the shit you just suggested.
In 2021, police were called to the rap star’s sprawling Toronto home after an armed stalker attacked a private security guard with a metal pipe while trying to break into the home.
The culprit was arrested and the metal pipe and a knife were confiscated as evidence, but luckily, Drake didn’t come close to her intended target.
“The perpetrator did not come near Drake,” a source told the Toronto Sun. “In fact, the intruder did not come through the front door.”
