Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s ongoing heated feud is not being mediated by their shared music label Universal Music Group.

Recent rumors suggested that UMG wanted the Canadian hip hop star, 37, and the Pulitzer Prize winning rapper, 36, to cease their conflict, which has been dubbed the ‘Rap Civil War.’

But TMZ reports that the label has no plans to get involved and ‘doesn’t think it’s their place to step in.’

The rumors first started circulating when a blind item claimed to have information regarding an alleged meeting between Kendrick, Drake and Universal Music Group, which both stars are technically signed to via distribution subsidiaries.

Among bullet points listed in the blind item was the suggestion that UMG bosses tried to force Kendrick to apologize to Drake.

It was also claimed that UMG wanted the Compton born hitmaker to issue a statement taking back his latest diss, which accused the Degrassi star of being a ‘pedophile.’

The blind item alleged that UMG honchos believed the conflict was bad for business where Drake was concerned, and could cost them money.

However, sources told TMZ there is no truth to the speculation, and that Universal ‘would never jump into something like this.’

They added the label never even considered doing so.

In fact, the recent back-and-forth music drops and diss tracks have created a lot of streams and plays, which would be financially beneficial and not detrimental to the label.

It’s unclear if the conflict between the two hip hop giants will continue, after Drake released what many are calling a surrender song on Sunday, titled ‘The Heart Part 6’ on which he rapped at one point, ‘I don’t wanna diss you anymore.’

The Grammy Award winner fired back at Kendrick for calling him a ‘certified pedophile’, rapping, ‘I’ve never been with no one underage’ and adding, ‘Just for clarity, I feel disgusted, I’m too respected / If I was f*****g young girls, I promise I’d have been arrested / I’m way too famous for this s**t you just suggested.’

However that happened before a shooting took place at Drake’s house on Tuesday.

Drake’s security guard is fighting for his life after being gunned down outside the rapper’s $100 million Toronto mansion in a drive-by shooting, reports say.

It comes after Drake’s security guard was gunned down outside the rapper’s $100 million Toronto mansion in a drive-by shooting, and is currently in the hospital; A heavy police presence was seen outside the mansion throughout Tuesday

The incident unfolded in the upscale neighborhood of Bridle Path shortly after 2am Tuesday, as the unnamed 48-year-old man was rushed to hospital after being found ‘outside the gates of the home’ with life-threatening injuries.

Toronto Police told DailyMail.com they could not confirm if the rapper was home at the time of the shooting.

A suspect fled the scene in a vehicle, and reports indicate they are still at large.

Sources told the Toronto Sun that the victim was Drake’s security guard, and witnesses said he was shot multiple times during a ‘drive-by shooting.’

Although officials have not indicated any early link to the shooting, Drake is said to be ‘cooperating’ with investigators.

The area around Drake’s mansion, built by the star in 2015 for a reported $100 million, was restricted by a police perimeter amid the ongoing investigation.

The victim was said to have been ‘standing outside the gates of the home’ when he was hit by several gunshots, and was found on the street with serious injuries.

He was raced to Sunnybrook Hospital and received emergency surgery, with one of the wounds believed to be to the upper chest. Officials later described his condition as ‘life threatening.’

The location of the shooting at Drake’s Toronto mansion comes amid his ongoing feud with rival rapper Kendrick, who used the same mansion to taunt Drake this week.

As the two men have released ‘diss tracks’ against each other the last few weeks, Lamar shared the cover for his track ‘Not Like Us’, featuring Drake’s mansion covered in markers for a 𝓈ℯ𝓍 offender app.

At a Tuesday press conference, Inspector Paul Krawczyk said there is no known evidence at this time that the shooting is related to Drake’s viral feud with Lamar, and the motive remains unclear.

‘It is so early in the investigation that we don’t have a motive at this time,’ he said.

The suspect in the shooting fled the scene, police said, and investigators have yet to release any descriptions of either the gunman or the vehicle.

Discussions to set up police interviews inside the huge mansion are taking place, reports the Toronto Sun.

Drake – real name Aubrey Graham – made headlines when he set out to build the palatial home in 2015, and purchased the plot of land it sits on for $6.7 million.

He then spent a reported $100 million constructing the huge estate, which is situated on one of the highest value streets in all of Canada.
