The 37-year-old rapper posted a clip to his Instagram Stories, seemingly from his perspective, in which he is seen wading through his luxurious dressing room with water up to his ankles.
Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Graham, made waves in 2015 when he began construction on his lavish Toronto home, buying the lot for $6.7 million.
He reportedly invested $100 million in building the sprawling estate, located on one of Canada’s most prestigious streets.
Despite the privacy he maintains regarding his home, the artist has occasionally given his fans a glimpse of his luxurious abode on social media, including showing off his own basketball court.
The flooding came two months after Drake’s $100 million estate, nicknamed the Embassy, was the subject of multiple burglary attempts.
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 including the drive-by shooting of another security guard.

It was reported that one of the guards shouted for help while the other overpowered the alleged offender without much difficulty.
The Toronto Police Service told the outlet that officers arrived at Drake’s home at 3:30 p.m. ET, where they subsequently escorted a single man off the premises after he refused to leave. The unidentified man was subsequently issued a ticket.

The first incident involved the shooting on May 8, early in the morning, in which a guard was shot dead at the gate of his mansion.
Toronto police told DailyMail.com they could not confirm whether the Hotline Bling creator was home at the time of the shooting.
A few days later, around 2 p.m., police officers were called to his home after an intruder attempted to break into his house.
Police again responded to a report of an offender around 3:30 p.m. the next day, according to a statement from Toronto police spokesperson Shannon Eames, as reported by Today in the US.
According to reports, the intruder was involved in an “altercation” with several security guards outside Drake’s $100 million mansion before police arrived.
The offender was later taken to hospital.
It’s unclear whether the intruders, or the drive-by shooting, are connected to the much-publicized feud between Drake and Lamar, 36, which has been sparked by viral diss tracks.
Although police said they were aware of the feud, they said there was no evidence at this time that the incidents were related.

The shooting and attempted raids on Drake’s Toronto mansion come after Lamar taunts him by using his home as a cover
However, the shooting and attempted break-in at Drake’s Toronto mansion occurred after Lamar challenged him by using his house as the cover illustration.
Over the past few months, the rival rappers have released diss tracks against each other.
For his song Not Like Us, Lamar used an image of Drake’s mansion, covered in markers from a sex offender app.
In the meantime, Drake can seek shelter from Toronto’s flooding at his $15 million Texas mansion if necessary.
