Drake asked local news helicopters in Toronto to stop flying over his home, and a third intruder was arrested.
A man who tried to break into a rapper's Toronto mansion has been arrested a day after a shooting outside the mansion earlier this week.
The intruder was reportedly taken into custody on Wednesday (May 8) after allegedly trying to break into Drake's home.
On Thursday, a second intruder was taken to hospital after a confrontation with a security guard, suffering “serious but non-life-threatening” injuries (via CP24).
Now, a third trespasser has attempted to enter the Bridle Path property, and security has managed to detain the man and escort him from the scene (via TMZ).

On Saturday morning, an emotional Drake posted on his Instagram Story, asking a news helicopter overhead to leave him in peace. “@cp24breakingnews can you please discuss the times when helicopters fly over my house? It's not a lie I'm trying to sleep,” he wrote. “Anytime after 3pm is fine.”
It's been a tumultuous week for Drake and his Toronto home, with police and paramedics on scene Monday after a man was hospitalized with “serious injuries” after being shot multiple times outside his home.
“Officers were called after someone attempted to enter the property.” [and] The person was arrested under the Mental Health Act. ”
It has since been widely reported that the injured person was Drake's bodyguard, who was shot in the chest.
The mansion recently became famous after a fan renamed the mansion on Google Maps in a prank related to the Canadian rapper's ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar.
The two have had beef over the past few years, but their relationship has reached a crescendo in the past three weeks. Each has shared a series of songs, with increasingly personal verbal attacks on each other's musical abilities and personal dramas. Last weekend alone, the duo released five songs in just three days.
There is no evidence that there is any correlation between the ongoing music battles, shootings, or attempted break-ins.
Universal Music Group recently denied reports that it had demanded that Kendrick Lamar and Drake end their highly publicized feud.
“Kendrick and Drake's relationship is between them and completely separate from the business side,” TMZ reported. [via HotNewHipHop]. “And UMG doesn't think it's their place to intervene anyway.”
