A woman wielding a hammer has vandalized Drake‘s OVO store in New York. The assailant was seen smashing several windows and reportedly attempted to set the building on fire, leading to her arrest shortly after the incident.
The woman was dressed minimally, wearing only pants and a bra at the time of the attack. She has been charged with criminal mischief and attempted arson. No additional information about her identity or motive for the attack has been disclosed.
Drake has not yet commented on this incident. Recently, he stirred controversy by reaffirming his support for Tory Lanez, who is currently serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion. While mocking Genius executive Rob Markman for his inability to rap a Lil Wayne lyric, Drake reiterated his support for Lanez on social media, stating: “Of course this Goof Markman couldn’t finish the bar… free Tory.”
Lanez has not responded to Drake’s latest comments, but he has been one of his most vocal supporters throughout the ongoing situation. Earlier this year, Drake shared a petition advocating for Lanez’s pardon, linking to it on his Instagram Stories. This petition is directed at California governor Gavin Newsom, asking for Lanez to be pardoned less than two years into his sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion. Drake also expressed his desire for Lanez to return home soon with the message: “@torylanez come home soon.”
Drake has consistently supported Lanez, even following his conviction for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot. Last year, he posted a picture of Lanez with the caption: “3 you.” In his 2022 song “Circo Loco,” Drake appeared to reference the shooting incident with the lyrics: “This bitch lie about getting shots, but she still she a stallion/ She don’t even get the joke, but she still smiling.”
Megan responded quickly on social media, stating: “Stop using my shooting for clout bitch ass N-ggas! Since when tf is it cool to joke abt women getting shot! You n-ggas especially RAP N-GGAS ARE LAME! Ready to boycott bout shoes and clothes but dog pile on a black woman when she say one of y’all homeboys abused her.”
