VIDEO: Drake's luxury Toronto mansion flooded
'This Better Be Espresso Martini' - Drake is facing every homeowner's worst nightmare...
Heavy rainfall in Canada has resulted in flooding in many homes, including the mansion of Canadian rapper Drake.
The 37-year-old's hometown, Toronto, has been hit by record-breaking storms. The severe weather has flooded roadways and caused power outages.
Drake shared video footage of muddy water flooding his home. One part of the video shows a man trying to keep the doors to his closet closed as water gushes through.
Drake, carrying a broom in his hand, then shows himself walking barefoot through the ankle-deep water.
"This Better Be Espresso Martini," he joked.

MORE FROM EAST COAST RADIO:
Drake's mansion, nicknamed 'The Embassy,' is reportedly valued at over $100-million. The 50,000-square-foot home was featured in Architectural Digest (AD) in 2020.
The feature showed just how extravagant Drake's mansion is. The home has an indoor basketball court that is NBA regulation-size. It sits beneath a 21-square-foot pyramidal skylight.
There's also a Swarovski crystal chandelier, which boats 20,000 hand-cut pieces, a two-story master closet and a bespoke Bösendorfer concert grand piano.
"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 says of his passion project. “It will be one of the things I leave behind, so it had to be timeless and strong,” he adds," the 'Certified Loverboy' rapper told AD.
We don't even want to imagine how much he will have to pay for the damage the floods caused to his expensive decor and furniture. Not to mention the clean-up!
A study by Clearitwaste.co.uk revealed that Drake spends an estimated R65,000 a week on house cleaning. That was in 2020, which means the amount has likely skyrocketed.
We would say good luck with the clean-up, but we doubt the multi-millionaire will have a problem picking up the pieces when the flooding calms down.
