Drake posted a video to his Instagram Story, Tuesday, showing the intense flooding in his Toronto mansion, as a result of a sudden, localized storm.
The famous rapper’s mansion, located in the affluent area of the Bridle Path, looked like it had a flowing river running right through it. Murky, brown storm water gushed through the doorways and quickly filled the luxurious residence, as seen in the video.
A member of Drake’s staff could be seen pushing the doors closed against the force of the water to protect the integrity of the contents inside the room, but it was a failing mission and the water continued to flow. Drake had a broom in his hand, and waded barefoot in the deep brown water as it filled his home.
The famous rapper shared the short clip amid the storm and added a humorous note to lighten the stressful situation.
“This better be Espresso Martini,” he wrote in his caption.
Sadly for the rapper, it was just gross storm water that was taking over his property and flooding his high-end furniture and belongings.

Drake didn’t say anything about the amount of damage he faced, but water has to go somewhere, and judging by the video — it was going everywhere! His 50,000 square foot mansion is valued at over $100 million, according to TMZ.
