Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams is a fascinating and controversial figure in the NBA. He is quite famous in his own right and has been the subject of a Drake song when he was at the Toronto Raptors. Williams began his NBA career in 2005 when the Philadelphia 76ers picked him as their 45th pick in Round 2 of the 2005 NBA Draft. The Atlanta Tipoff Club also named him the Naismith Prep Player of the Year in 2005.
Williams recently spoke about his polyamorous relationship with two women to Taylor Rooks in an interview on ‘Bleacher Report’. Rooks questioned Williams about one thing that he loathed being asked about. Williams referenced his then polyamorous relationship, which received a lot of media coverage.

Williams said, “People even thought they were sisters, I was like, ‘That’s ridiculous.’ I didn’t like the part where I couldn’t control what was being said and how they were viewed. Both of those women are mothers of my children, not just some random girls I’m running around with…”
The 35-year-old star was revealed to be in a polyamorous relationship in 2014. Williams still played for the Toronto Raptors in 2014. A website named ‘Baller Alert’ reported that Williams was dating two women identified as Ashley Henderson and Rece Mitchell. Williams reportedly refers to them fondly as “Blonde” and “Brown.”
The NBA has honored Williams with the Sixth Man of the Year award three times in 2015, 2108, and 2019. The Drake song, ‘6 Man’ refers to his Raptors’ sixth man role, and also to Williams’ polyamorous relationship. In 2018, Williams’ relationship with Ashley Henderson had supposedly ended.
