Drake spills tea on song about Serena Williams

Drizzy gave his fans content for days when he released three new songs and 100 gigabytes of never-before-seen videos to 100gigs.org on Tuesday (August 6). One of the clips shows Aubrey letting his mother Sandi Graham listen to new music in the studio circa 2016. In the clip, which you can watch below, he plays the song “Too Good” with Rihanna.

“I'm getting heavy two knuckles, but it's more about me and Serena,” Drake tells his mom.

Sandy replies, “I packed it,” which gets a laugh from Drake.

Drake continues, “It's funny because when I make songs about women, I make songs about them. So, I know what kind of song… If I want to talk about them, I can at least do them justice by making a song that they like, i know serena very well and i know she will hear this loud and clear but she won't hate me for it.

“Too Good” appeared on Drake's 2016 Views album. The dance track finds Drake lamenting a shaky relationship.

“Look, I don't know how to talk to you/I don't know how to ask you if you're okay/My friends always feel the need to tell me things/They seem to be happier than us these days, yeah,” Drake rhymes. “These days, I don't know how to talk to you/I don't know how to be there when you need me/I feel like the only time you see me/It's when you turn your head to the side and look at me differently, yeah.”

Many fans thought the song was about Rihanna who believed that she and Drake also had a relationship in the past and is featured in the song.

Drake and Serena Williams' past relationship

Drake and Serena Williams dating rumors started in 2011 when he started watching her tennis matches. The following year, Drake and Common were involved in a well-publicized beef that was over both rappers' love for the tennis star. In 2015, Drake and Serena were caught on camera joking around. By 2017, their flight appeared to be over.

In 2022, Drake dropped the name Serena Her loss track “Middle of the Ocean” and referenced her husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.

“I swear you don't even mean what you sayin' like dubbing a movie/Sidebar, Serena, your groupie husband,” Drake raps on the song. “She claims we don't have a problem, but/No, boo, it's like you come for sushi/We can get 'em at will like Suzuki.”

Alexis Ohanian took the high road in his response. “The reason I keep winning is because I'm relentless in being the absolute best at everything I do — including being the best groupie for my wife and daughter,” Ohanian wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
