Canadian rap star Drake has filed a restraining order against an obsessive fan who has sent threatening messages to him.
The 35-year-old music star, real name Aubrey Drake Graham, has made an appeal to courts in the USA to have a restraining order issued against a woman who he claims has shown up at his house and wished death upon him.
The star is said to be concerned not just for his own safety, but that of his four-year-old son, Adonis – and the singer says the onslaught of abuse from the woman has taken a toll on the his mental health.
Drake's lawyer, Larry Stein, has turned to courts in a bid to have a temporary restraining order issued against the woman.
PageSix reports: “the rapper accused a 29-year-old woman of sending him threatening emails ‘wishing him dead’ and saying he should ‘shoot [himself] and [his] son with a bullet’.”
The report adds that the woman also emailed the musician saying he should: “put a bullet through your head now b***h.”
The outlet claims they have seen court documents, which include a statement from Drake himself, saying: “As a result of [her] harassment and obsession with me, I have suffered and continue to suffer emotional distress and am concerned for my safety and that of my family.”
TMZ have also reported the restraining order request, writing: “Drake claims the woman was arrested at his Hidden Hills estate back in April 2017 and convicted of trespassing, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
“Drake says the woman has threatened his life as well as the lives of his family members.”
They add that: “the woman's been trying to track [Drake] down by filing a $4 billion defamation case against him and seeking a restraining order of her own ... and he says he's suffering emotional distress and fearing for his and his family's safety.”
It is reported that the singer – whose hits include Take Care and Hold On, We’re Going Home – wants the protective order to force the woman to stay 100 yards away from him and his family.
Meanwhile, in recent reports, Drake is said to have splashed $50 million (£38 million) buying Robbie Williams’ Beverly Hills mansion.
The huge price tag is said to have been something of a steal, however – as Rob had put the palatial property on the market with an $80 million (£60 million) price tag before being forced to drop the price when he couldn’t find a buyer.
However the Angels singer shouldn't be too downcast as he still made a notable profit, having originally bought the property from Guess co-founder Armand Marciano for $32.67 Million in 2015, property records disclose.
