We all dream of one day meeting our celebrity heroes but most of us don’t actually take proactive steps to making those dreams come true — unless you’re the guy who sauntered on to Drake’s property Thursday evening, hoping to meet the rapper.
TMZ broke the break-in, which was Drake’s second of 2017. The intruder, who was weaponless, was promptly arrested after Drake’s guard caught him lurking on the property. He told cops that he had located the home by looking up the address online, which seems like an extraordinarily easy way to make your dreams come true.
Unfortunately, the trespasser’s efforts would have been fruitless even if he had succeeded in getting past the front door. The house is undergoing renovations and Drake hasn’t been living there for months.
Maybe next time, he should consider calling ahead.
