On Saturday, Drake encountered another unwelcome visitor attempting to breach security at his Toronto mansion.

This marks the third security incident this week, where alleged intruders have targeted the 37-year-old rapper's residence. This tally excludes the recent drive-by shooting incident aimed at another member of his security detail.

Outside the gates of the property, TMZ captured images of one individual restraining another, with the latter's arms placed behind his back.

Reports suggest that one of the security personnel swiftly called for backup while the other successfully detained the suspected trespasser until further assistance arrived.

The Toronto Police Service disclosed that, following the refusal of a lone male to vacate the premises, officers escorted him off the site at 3:30 p.m. ET. Subsequently, the unidentified individual received a citation.

The first incident unfolded on Tuesday morning when a security guard was shot outside the gates of his mansion.

According to DailyMail.com, Toronto Police couldn't confirm whether the Hotline Bling hitmaker was present during the shooting.

Then, around 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, authorities were summoned to his residence following an attempted intrusion.

At approximately 3:30 p.m., officers were called to address a second trespassing incident on Thursday afternoon, as stated by Shannon Eames, a spokesperson for the Toronto Police, as reported by USA Today.

The recent shooting and attempted intrusions at Drake's Toronto mansion follow Lamar's provocative move of using his home as cover art for his latest release.

Over the past month, the rival rappers have engaged in a series of diss tracks aimed at each other.

In Lamar's track "Not Like Us," he notably features an image of Drake's mansion adorned with markings from a sex offender app.

While acknowledging the feud, the police had stated previously that there was no current indication linking the incidents.

Interestingly,on Saturday morning before any altercation happened again, Drake vented his frustration about being awakened by news helicopters flying over his house.

The 37-year-old rapper turned to his Instagram Story just two days after the third police-involved incident at his mansion within the week, as reported by Daily Mail UK.

On a simple background, he tagged CP24, a news outlet based in his hometown of Toronto, and expressed his desire to address the disturbance once he had rested.

"Can we discuss the chopper flight times over the house cause I won't lie I'm trying to sleep," he wrote.

He then placed an emoji of an arrow shooting through a pink heart and quipped, "Anytime after 3pm works great for me."
