For security reasons.
When Drake was given the key to the city Toronto it clearly meant he was able to open any door he wants and one those doors has given him special permission to break a city bylaw. According to CTV News, Drake has been permitted to build extra tall fences on the outside his Toronto mansion for the sake security concerns.
“The amount people that try to come onto this property during the day and at night is very, very significant,” Brad Rafauli, vice-president the Ferris Rafauli Architectural Design Build Group said in a meeting. “Security is really left in his hands.” The city Toronto doesn’t allow residents to have fences taller than two meters (6.5 f). The “Feel No Ways” musician already spent $1 million on 20-foot cedar trees to line the home but apparently it’s simply not enough.

A representative attended the meeting on behalf one Drake’s neighbor who’s against the move but other than that, Brad stated that there’s been “very little opposition.”
“Everyone knows where he eats, where he sleeps, and that has really freaked him out,” he added. “Security is really, really high on the list.”
