Drake targets Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian
Drake recently released an album named ‘Her Loss’ in collaboration with 21 Savage. In one of the 16 songs of the album, he mentioned Williams and her husband. The verse of the song titled ‘Middle of the Ocean’ which targets Williams goes,
“Sidebar, Serena, your husband a groupie.
He claim we don’t got a problem but
No, boo, it is like you comin’ for sushi
We might pop up on ’em at will like Suzuki.”
“The f*ck would y’all really do without me?
For your birthday, your man got a table at Hibachi
Last time I ate there, Wayne was doin’ numbers off the cup like Yahtzee.”
In the mid-2010s, rumors of the former World no.1 dating Drake erupted. He in a way can be held responsible for the same as he started tweeting about her and became a regular spectator in several of her high-profile matches.
Also, he dedicated a verse to her in his single ‘Worst Behavior’ in 2013 and got caught in a verbal war with her ex-boyfriend, Common. Though they never accepted their relationship and later Williams started dating Ohanian and the interest around the topic among fans gradually died down.
