Drake shared a dramatic video on his Instagram Stories, revealing murky brown water inundating parts of his mansion. The flooding was particularly intense in his dressing room, where the water reached ankle height. The rapper humorously quipped that the rushing waters “better be espresso martini” as he documented the situation.
