No further details have been released, but a police presence remains and an area of the street has been cordoned off.

The incident comes amid a public spat between Kendrick Lamar and Drake that continues to unfold. There has been no link between the feud and the police incident.

Kendrick released his new song Not Like Us in the early hours of Sunday morning and it's his third diss track against Drake in 36 hours. In the new song, the Pray For Me hitmaker has made multiple references to Drake's alleged interactions with younger women.

He rapped: "Say, Drake, I hear you like 'em young," before going on to say Drake would struggle in prison because of his alleged interests. Kendrick then warned people to "make sure you hide your lil' sister from him."

The artwork for his tune Not Like Us also featured a dig at Drake as it showed an aerial shot of his mansion as it would look on a sex-offender map. The rappers' feud began when Kendrick hit out at Drake and J Cole in his song First Person Shooter.

While J Cole backed out of the diss track battle at the time, Drake continued to escalate the drama and accused Kendrick of domestic violence in his song Family Matters.
