Drake’s new album is out, and it’s creating chaos, especially in the tennis world. While the rapper may have anticipated something different, it is clear that his jab at the Reddit co-founder didn’t land well among fans. Drake downed a shot and referred to Serena Williams’ husband as a groupie in the song ‘Middle of the Ocean.’ However, the American businessman provided a very refined and classic response, which won over his fans.

Several years ago, the 23-time Grand Slam champion was rumored to be in a relationship with the Canadian rapper before getting married to the Reddit co-founder.
Fans blasted Drake for disparaging Serena Williams’ husband in his song
Alexis Ohanian and Serena Williams’ fans are upset that his name is being disparaged in Drake’s song. Even Alexis Ohanian’s response arrived exactly in time to illustrate what a ‘groupie’ means in terms of a family man. He wrote, “The reason I stay winning is because I’m relentless about being the absolute best at whatever I do — including being the best groupie for my wife & daughter.”

Serena and Drake’s rumored relationship
All of this began in 2011 when the Canadian rapper began showing his support by going to Williams‘ matches. He was frequently seen cheering for the former world number one in the stands. However, it was not that simple; the rapper uploaded constant hints on his social media about their rumored relationship. After that, he included a reference of the American tennis legend in his song ‘Worst Behavior’.

But when Wimbledon 2015 rolled along, the rapper was seen supporting Serena once again and paid close attention to her matches. The 36-year-old hailed the tennis star on his social media page after she won the 2015 Wimbledon championship. However, the interest in their alleged relationship gradually lost interest among fans as Serena met Ohanian and eventually married him in 2017.
