Drake, Maybe Don't Show Off Your Mansion During A Pandemic
Drake has been extremely logged on in his self-isolation, with a rare post of his son Adonis, teases of new music, and a quarantine dance video destined for TikTok greatness (or at least, engineered that way).
Watch: Drake releases quarantine music video for “Toosie slide.” Story continues below.

New photos of Drake’s huge mansion in Toronto’s Bridle Path neighbourhood are lighting up screens, thanks to a house tour he shared with Architectural Digest for their May issue.
