US rapper Aubrey Drake Graham, aka Drake's mansion in Toronto, has been hit by a heavy storm, which has made his uber-expensive home look like a water park. 

The flood came after the city was battered by a severe rainstorm, causing major floods and power disruptions.

Champagne Papi uploaded a video of the messy scene inside his vast house. The footage showed brown liquid streaming through what appears to be a walk-in wardrobe room.

According to Environment Canada, the torrential rain has left over 100,000 Canadians without power, with Toronto's four inches of rain breaking the city's rainfall record from 1941.

Drake appeared to have a member of his house staff trying to hold a door closed to safeguard part of his wardrobe while he walked through the flooded mess with a mop stick, which was ineffective at this point.

Despite the problematic scenario, the rapper seemed to keep a positive attitude, joking about the brownish water when he said:

"This better be Espresso Martini."

Meanwhile, it has been reported that Drake's mansion has seen a lot of action in recent months, including a drive-by shooting and several suspected trespassers following his feud with Kendrick Lamar.
