It may seem that the lives of celebs are pure bliss. That may be true when it comes to their enormous wealth, but there is one thing stars would gladly trade with us: privacy. They can’t take two steps without being asked for an autograph or a selfie, not to mention obsessed individuals who stalk them 24/7 and trespass on their property.
Hip-hop and R&B star Drake is seeking a court-ordered protection from a woman who vowed to kill him, TMZ reported, citing court documents it obtained. According to the tabloid, the woman has been harassing him for years, even trespassing on his property and being convicted of it in 2017 - but she has continued following him.
Not only has she threatened Drake, but also members of his family, the documents say. TMZ did not elaborate on why the individual wants to hurt the singer or his relatives.

Drake’s lawyer says the woman has also threatened him. She sent a message reading: “[Drake should] put a bullet through your head now b**ch”. TMZ did not provide information on the woman’s identity, only saying that she is 29.
The singer wants a judge to sign a protective order that would force her to stay 100 yards away from him and his family at all times. Court documents also state that the individual tried to track the musician down by filing a $4 billion defamation case against him.

Drake recently became the subject of a court battle himself in connection with a stampede that occurred during his performance at the Astroworld music festival in Houston, Texas on 5 November 2021. The incident left 10 people dead (eight died on the spot and another two in hospital) and over 300 injured.
