Drake posted a video of his Toronto mansion being flooded following a huge storm that hit the city on Tuesday.
The 37-year-old rapper shared a video on Instagram Stories that appears to be from his point of view, showing him swimming through his fancy dressing room with water up to his ankles.
The water fills the floor, and a man struggles in vain to keep the dressing room doors closed against the deluge.
Drake showed off his customary wit by comparing the brown water to a coffee-flavored cocktail, captioning the video, ‘This better be Espresso Martini.’
According to Environment Canada, the torrential rain has left over 100,000 Canadians without power, with Toronto’s four inches of rain breaking the city’s rainfall record from 1941.

Drake, real name Aubrey Graham, made headlines in 2015 when he announced his plans to build a luxurious Toronto mansion, paying $6.7 million for the plot.
He reportedly spent $100 million to build the large mansion, which is located on one of Canada’s most elite streets.
Despite his desire for solitude, the artist has periodically shown followers glimpses of his lavish home on social media, highlighting features such as his own basketball court.
The flooding comes two months after Drake’s $100 million house, known as the Embassy, was targeted many times for break-ins.
On May 11, Drake’s security team reportedly apprehended another alleged intruder at the rapper’s home for the third time in a week, not counting the drive-by shooting of another guard.
In photos and images obtained by TMZ, one man is seen pinning down another man on the lawn outside the gates, with his arms behind his back.
According to reports, one of the security guards called for assistance while the other quickly apprehended the suspected trespasser.
The Toronto Police Service told the source that officers arrived at Drake’s home around 3:30 PM ET and escorted a lone person off the property after he refused to leave. The unidentified man was subsequently ticketed.

Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Graham, made waves in 2015 when he commenced on building his luxurious Toronto mansion, purchasing the property for $6.7 million.
The first incident occurred on May 8, when a security guard was shot outside his mansion gates in the early morning.
Toronto Police informed DailyMail.com that they couldn’t confirm whether the Hotline Bling hitmaker was at home at the time of the incident.
A few days later, around 2 p.m., police were summoned to his home after an intruder attempted to break into it.
Police responded to another call regarding a trespasser at 3:30 p.m. the next day, according to a statement from Toronto Police spokesperson Shannon Eames, which was reported by USA Today.
Before the cops came, the intruder reportedly got into a ‘altercation’ with multiple security officers outside Drake’s $100 million estate.
The trespasser was later sent to a hospital.
It’s unknown whether the invaders or the drive-by gunshot have anything to do with Drake’s well-publicized dispute with Lamar, 36, which has been carried out through viral diss tracks.
Although the police were aware of the dispute, they stated that there was currently no evidence that the incidents were related.

In recent months, rival rappers have recorded ‘diss records’ against one another.
For his song Not Like Us, Lamar used an image of Drake’s mansion covered in markings from a sex offender app.
Meanwhile, Drake can seek sanctuary from the Toronto floods in his $15 million Texas property.
