Drake is weathering the storm.

On Tuesday, July 16, the Canadian rapper, 37, did his best to make light of a less-than-ideal situation.

“This better be Espresso Martini,” he wrote over a video posted to his Instagram Stories, showing his home flooded during the rainstorms in Canada.

In the clip, an unidentified individual wearing all-black is seen trying to close French doors as muddy flood waters rush through and begin to accumulate throughout the room of the home they are in.

With only the sound of the rushing water, Drake pans the camera down to his feet, which are submerged in water up to his mid-calfs. He’s holding a broom, presumably trying to guide the water away.

Although the Grammy winner did not tag his location in the video, his hometown of Toronto has been experiencing severe weather, including flooding, as of late.

Environment Canada lifted its heavy rainfall warning for Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, the Toronto Star reported on Monday, July 15. The announcement came after flooding impacted the city’s subway system earlier this week.

“Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads,” the weather agency said, according to the newspaper. “Watch for possible washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts.”

“The rain might last one more day,” the newspaper added, with most of the unpleasant weather expected to clear out before the weekend arrives.

In 2020, Drake gave fans a glimpse into his Toronto mansion, dubbed “The Embassy,” when he was featured in Architectural Digest.

“Because I was building it in my hometown, I wanted the structure to stand firm for 100 years. I wanted it to have a monumental scale and feel,” the “God’s Plan” rapper said while describing his estate. “It will be one of the things I leave behind, so it had to be timeless and strong.”

The custom 50,000-square-foot property designed by Ferris Rafauli includes a 21-square-foot pyramidal skylight perched above his NBA regulation-size indoor basketball court.

There’s also a great room with 44-foot ceilings, a bespoke concert grand piano, and a chandelier that was originally designed to decorate the Metropolitan Opera in New York City in 1963.

It features more than 20,000 pieces of hand-cut Swarovski crystal, making it the second-largest installation of its kind in the world.

Despite all of the high-end decor and finishes, the “Rich Baby Daddy” hitmaker said his favorite part of his home is his bedroom.

“The bedroom is where I come to decompress from the world at the end of the night and where I open my eyes to seize the day,” Drake said of the 3,200-square-foot suite, which has an additional 1,100 square feet of covered terraces.

“The bed lets you float, the shower lets you escape and gather your thoughts, and the closet makes you want to talk to yourself while you’re getting dressed.”

“It’s overwhelming high luxury," he added. "That message is delivered through the size of the rooms and the materials and details of the floors and the ceilings. I wanted to make sure people can see the work I’ve put in over the years reflected from every vantage point.”
