Williams, who went against her father’s will to get ear piercings during her younger days, is a huge fashion enthusiast. She loves walking on the red carpet and is close to celebs such as Beyonce and Kim Kardashian. Speaking of which, she also had a little something going on with Drake.
Drake’s full investment in Serena Williams
Williams charmed the Canadian singer with her excellent form on the tour in 2011 and kind of made him a regular audience to her matches. That, in turn, later helped Drake write a courageous Tweet. A Tweet which said, “Serena Williams, I cannot wait to put it on you and make you sweat……… during our match this weekend.”

Thereafter, he dedicated a verse of the song Worst Behaviour from the album Nothing was the Same to her. The lines say, “I’m with my whole set/Tennis matches at the crib/ I swear I could beat Serena when she playin’ with her left.”
Further, he was spotted cheering for Williams at 2015 Wimbledon finals. The former World no.1 defeated the Spanish tennis professional Garbiñe Muguruza in straight sets of 6-4 6-4 to clinch her sixth Wimbledon trophy that season.
