Canadian rapper Drake recently shared a startling glimpse of his Toronto residence, known as The Embassy, engulfed in floodwaters amid severe storms and record rainfall. In an Instagram video posted on Tuesday, July 16, Drake humorously captioned the scene, “This better be Espresso Martini,” showcasing his attempt to lighten the mood despite the challenging weather conditions.

The footage captured muddy waters seeping through French doors into the mansion’s interior, as an unidentified person struggled to manage the situation. With the sound of rushing water audible, Drake, 37, appeared in the video, his feet submerged in the rising flood, grasping a broom in an effort to mitigate the damage.
While Drake didn’t explicitly specify the location in the video, it is widely presumed to be Toronto, where Environment Canada had issued warnings about heavy rainfall and the potential for flash floods earlier that week. The storms have caused power outages and disrupted transportation across the city and its suburbs.
