Drake is serving up some hot tea on his old flame Serena Williams.
In case you missed it, back in 2015, the 37-year-old rap wizard and the 42-year-old tennis queen were spotted smooching at a sushi joint. Yes, you heard it right: love was in the air and apparently, it tasted like soy sauce.
Recently, Drake decided to unleash a tidal wave of his music onto the worldβ100 gigabytes of unreleased tracks, behind-the-scenes shenanigans, and enough studio footage to make you question how much footage one man needs. Amidst this audio avalanche, Drake let slip to his mom, Sandi Graham, that his 2016 hit βToo Goodβ is actually a serenade to Serena.
βI get deep and meaningful with some songs, but this oneβs all about me and Serena,β Drake told his mom with the kind of enthusiasm usually reserved for explaining your favorite pizza topping. He continued, βItβs funny, when I make tracks about women, I also whip up songs just for them. Itβs like crafting a personalized love letter, but with beats and rhymes. I know Serena will get it, and thankfully, she wonβt be throwing her tennis racket at me because itβs all in good fun.β
When Sandi inquired whether Serena was βseeing someone else,β Drake had a classic reply: βI donβt know, mom.β
Fast forward to December 2016, and Serena got engaged to Alexis Ohanian, and the couple tied the knot the following year. Theyβre now happily parenting two adorable daughters.
Oh, and for the cherry on top: in 2022, Alexis threw some shade back at Drake when he dubbed him Serenaβs βgroupie.β Looks like the tennis court wasnβt the only place where things got a little competitive!
