A security guard for the rapper Drake was injured in a shooting outside Drake's Toronto home overnight, police said Tuesday. 

The shooting comes amid a rap beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. One of Lamar's tracks featured Drake's Toronto home as its cover art. 

Krawczyk said police "cannot speak to a motive at this time." 

He also said he could not confirm if Drake was home at the time of the shooting, but said police were in touch with the rapper's team and that they were cooperating with the investigation.

The guard was standing outside the home's gates when he was shot, Krawczyk said. 

A vehicle was involved in the shooting, but Krawczyk said he could not yet classify it as a drive-by shooting.  

During the press briefing, Krawczyk stressed that details were "extremely limited" due to the early phase of the investigation. He mentioned that officers would be combing the area to interview witnesses and were working to gather video footage.

Although the police have obtained "some video evidence of the incident," Krawczyk stated that he was unable to share descriptions of the suspects or the vehicle involved at this point.

"We are encountering challenges with the quality of the video footage," Krawczyk explained. "Once we have more information and can enhance the video, we will be able to provide further details."
