Drake's Toronto Treasures: From Mansion to Monopoly Money?
Ah, Drake. The 6 God himself. Toronto's global ambassador (between visits to his other fancy houses). But what exactly does this musical titan own in the 6ix? Fear not, fellow fans, for we're about to dive into Drake's Den (get it? Den... Drake... I'll see myself out).
The Embassy: A Fortress of Solitude (Mostly)
First up, and impossible to miss, is the legendary Embassy. This 50,000 square foot behemoth is more mansion, less house. We're talking an NBA-sized basketball court, enough chandeliers to rival Versailles, and a Murakami-fied grand piano (because, well, Drake). Fun fact: this architectural marvel was even featured in Architectural Digest, proving even the fanciest homes need a good spread in a glossy mag.
Security Measures That Would Make Fort Knox Blush
Let's just say getting into The Embassy is harder than getting a feature on a Drake track (sorry, hopeful rappers). Double-height fences (because regular fences are just so... common), security cameras that could probably see your breakfast cereal, and enough alarms to wake the entire neighborhood. There have even been rumours of laser sharks with tiny OVO Sound jackets patrolling the moat (okay, maybe not the sharks, but you get the idea).
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.
What Does Drake Own In Toronto |
Does Drake Own the CN Tower?
Probably not, but you wouldn't be wrong to think he might. The CN Tower practically has to be his personal wifi hotspot, right? Plus, who else needs a sky-high perch to contemplate life, the universe, and everything (and maybe write a hit song or two)?
Is Drake Secretly Buying Up All the Tim Hortons?
Again, unconfirmed, but with his love for double-doubles, it wouldn't be a surprise. Maybe he's planning a Drake-themed Tim Hortons withHotline Bling donuts and a special "Started From The Bottom, Now We Here For Coffee" menu. One can dream.
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
So, Does Drake Basically Own Toronto?
Let's not get carried away. But he certainly has a very impressive collection of Toronto real estate (and probably a lifetime supply of maple syrup). Hey, if anyone can rep the 6ix on a global scale, it's gotta be Drizzy, right?
