A violent storm has rumbled through the Toronto metro area and left over 100,000 citizens without power on Tuesday (July 16), per BBC.

Even Drake’s mansion was caught in the line of fire. The 6 God posted a video to his Instagram Story from his Toronto estate with at least one floor completely flooded.

At times, we have to laugh to keep from crying and the OVO boss had a light-hearted reaction to what looks like will be an expensive bill to fix the damages made by the record-breaking torrential downpour. He joked about the water’s brown tint and compared it to one of his cocktails of choice.

“This better be Espresso Martini,” he captioned the clip, which features another person trying to keep the doors to another room shut while Drake walks around barefoot with a broom that probably won’t be helping too much.

The hits continue to come for Drake as fans had some fun at his expense on social media. “OVO tears done flooded the house,” one person wrote to X after seeing the misfortune. Another quipped: “Bro got the rap game against him, AND NOW MOTHER NATURE?!?!?”

Environment Canada reported that nearly four inches of rain fell in Toronto due to the combination of three separate storms, which broke the city’s rainfall record that stood since 1941.

However, the worst of it seems to be finished as no more significant rain is expected to accumulate the rest of Tuesday.

“We had 25 percent more rain in three hours than we’d have normally in the whole month of July with all the thunderstorms and systems that moved through,” said local meteorologist Dave Phillips.

Authorities have had to reportedly make at least 14 rescues as of press time and continues to assess the highway and property damages due to flooding.

Hopefully, Drake and the rest of the city can stay Canada Dry as the storm begins to subside.

During an interview with Viper magazine at London’s Wireless Festival this past weekend, Sexyy Red revealed that she has a project with Chief Keef in the works.

“That’s my boo… We droppin’ an album soon. Yeah, for sure. We be workin’,” she responded after being asked if the two rappers were an item or just “musical friends.” She was also asked to describe what the album sounds like and she answered, “We just be on some money sh—. Some car sh—, fast cars. F—k these h—s. Buy some clothes. And keep your hair done [Laughs.]”

The midwest duo have already collaborated on three songs. Sexyy featured on Keef’s “Grape Trees” and “Damn Shorty” from the two projects he’s dropped this year, and the Chicago rapper appeared on “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad).”

They’ve also been in the news as they’re apparently involved in a love triangle with the late King Von’s sister Kayla B.

Kayla posted a picture of her kissing Keef with the caption, “Let’s be a familyyyyyy @sexyyred.” Sexyy responded by saying, “Wya we finna come get chu!!” and then posted pics of herself in bed with one of Keef’s pendants. However, it all turned out to be fun and games with Sexyy posting a carousel of pictures on Instagram with the caption, “dis just my favorite brudda.”

Sexyy Red has an upcoming tour slated to kick off in August and had to shoot down rumors about low ticket sales. “My fans are buying tickets we’re doin just fine we not cancelling no tour dis cancelling sh— all cap,” she replied to a tweet claiming only 37.11 percent of the 85,217 tickets have sold.

Mexican music powerhouse Fuerza Regida has always delighted in coming up with unexpected stunts to promote their music and shows, from an impromptu concert on the 210 freeway near Los Angeles to a performance alongside street musicians on the Tijuana border.

This past April, when the band announced its current, 37-date arena tour – Pero No Te Enamores — the drumbeat started with the band wearing jerseys emblazoned with the number 12, and with a recurring logo of a heart with a line drawn over it popping up in Fuerza’s social media posts. On April 12 (see the number connection now?) the band announced their tour, and also unveiled a mural of the crossed-out heart, painted on the black wall of a liquor store in San Bernardino, the city where frontman Jesús Ortiz Paz, better known as JOP, grew up.

“It’s a liquor store where my father goes to buy his beer,” says JOP. “I went and asked the owner, and he said yes, como si nada.”

Engagement on social media following the mural unveiling was so high, that JOP started toying with the idea of expanding the concept for other major announcements.

Fast forward to today (July 16), when the band has unveiled 15 murals in six cities – Miami, Phoenix, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and San Bernardino, of course — to announce their upcoming new album, also titled Pero No Te Enamores (which translates to But, Don’t Fall In Love). Like the original mural in San Bernardino, which has been retouched for the occasion, the murals feature a giant crossed-out heart drawn inside a circle, similar to a traffic signal, with the album’s release date, July 25, and a parental warning on the side, all against a black backdrop.

“It’s a heart with the ‘Not allowed zone.’ The ‘No love zone,’” laughs JOP, speaking to Billboard about his marketing strategy. “They’ll see the murals and say, ‘S–t, he has an album and it has no love.”

That, he adds, is the whole theme of the upcoming set: “Don’t fall in love. I want to say, don’t feel comfortable where you are in life. If you have a job, don’t fall in love with that. Want more. Don’t fall in love with that drug you’re addicted to, or with whatever it is.”

While JOP wouldn’t provide details on the album itself, he says it will be radically different from anything the group has done before. “It’s not your typical Mexican music album with guitar, tololoche. We’re getting into something different, something new, something risky. That’s why we took our time to really market this, we invested money,” says JOP, noting that “this the album we’ve invested the most money on — in marketing, producing it and making it.”

This week’s murals will go up in tandem with Spotify-supported billboards in Los Angeles and Mexico that will reveal a snippet of lyrics to one of the album’s songs.

Interestingly, this is the first time Fuerza tries its out-of-the-box stunts far from California. Prior to these efforts, the group — which made history by becoming the first Latin band to top Billboard‘s Top Artists, Duo/Group Year-end Chart in 2023 — had amplified its actions on social media, but never actually done marketing actions on the ground in other cities to promote their music. But in February, after the group released the EP Dolido Pero No Arrepentido, they managed to place seven songs in the top 10 on Apple’s Latin Top Songs chart.

“I never imagined achieving that,” said JOP. “It was always one or two. When I saw seven up there, I was happy, but I also said, ‘Oh, shit. I have to do something different.”

Beyond the murals, a “crazy album release party” is also in the works, along with “lots of crazy s–t” that should shift Fuerza’s stunt-meter into high gear.

“We really pushed this album to the max,” says JOP. “But what I really like about these murals is we put them in mom and pop businesses owned by regular people. And as soon as this rolls out, our fans are gonna come and look and them and bring business to these people.”
