Canadian rapper and singer Drake appears to have had enough of a helicopter hovering and buzzing above his home in Toronto. The Best I Ever Had singer took to Instagram to plead with a news network to stop flying their chopper over his house.

The rapper reportedly wants to get some sleep, but he can’t because of the noise, and he’s blaming the news channel for it. In a story he shared via his Instagram handle, Champagne Papi, on Saturday, May 11, the Canadian rapper called out the Toronto news channel for the incident.

The 37-year-old rapper even went towards tagging the news outlet CP24 in the story, wanting to “discuss” the inconvenience. He wrote:

“@cp24breakingnews can we discuss the chopper flight times over the house cause I won’t lie I’m trying to sleep”

The rapper added an emoji of a pink heart with an arrow shooting through it and continued:

“Anytime after 3 pm works great for me.”

Drake’s mansion is a well-known location after being featured in his Toosie Slide video the rapper-singer released in 2020. Moreover, the house was also the cover art for fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar’s newest diss track aimed at Drake, Not Like Us, illustrating the house in a s*x offender app.

The flyover above the God’s Plan rapper’s Bridle Path mansion came after numerous incidents around his home in the past couple of days.

The first was reportedly on an early morning on Tuesday, involving a security guard shot outside of the rapper-singer’s mansion gate. The same has been reported by the Toronto Sun, with Toronto Police Insp. Paul Krawczyk saying:

“We have individuals who obviously performed this shooting who were seen in a vehicle. I do not have a description of that vehicle.”
