Drake seemingly can’t catch a break. The rapper attempted to keep spirits high amid flooding at his Toronto home, captured in a video he shared on Tuesday (July 16).
The Canadian rapper humorously captioned his Instagram Stories, “This better be espresso martini.” The brief clip showed a man in all-black struggling to secure the house’s French doors against the onslaught of muddy water spilling into the room.
Drake subsequently panned the camera to show his feet, which were submerged up to the mid-calves. Social media users got a laugh at the incident, with one person writing, “Hey Siri, play ‘Swimming Pools’ by Kendrick Lamar” — a reference to the artist’s rap beef with the Compton MC.
Someone else gave a nod to Lamar’s “Not Like Us” by altering its lyrics to read, “Certified waterboy, certified waterslide / Mop, mop, mop, Drake, mop it up.” Rick Ross simply reacted, “Minor issues.”
Notably, the cover art for “Not Like Us” contains a satellite view of the home while “meet the grahams” contains lines like, “The Embassy ’bout to get raided too, it’s only a matter of time.”
