The BBL Drizzy beat continues to hit the speakers! It has been a while since the controversy between renowned beatmaker Metro Boomin and Drake caught the attention of fans on social media. However, besides the countless number of fans taking a shot at the beat, Serena Williams‘ husband Alexis Ohanian is also not sparing any opportunity to take a dig at the Canadian artist.

Metro Boomin’s recent tweet targeting Drake not only acted as a regular diss but invited thousands of fans to come forward and join the club. However, besides the fans who are coming forward to use the #BBLDRIZZY beat, Alexis Ohanian came forward to target Drake once again, after the humiliating comment on the Kendrick Lamar controversy.

Recently, DUOLINGO shared a video targeting the whole running controversy between Metro Boomin and Drake. The post revolves around a myth that states, “Listening to English songs can help improve your skills and prepare you for the DET.”

Duo Lingo, unleashing its humor, dances to the trending BBLDRIZZY beat, to deny the viability of the statement. Using the meme to target the famous rapper once again, Serena’s husband reacted to it, saying, “Not DUO too!!”

The comment, despite being a short one, hit hard on the controversy and therefore re-opened his entry in the beef against Drake. As the fans continue to take part in the trending challenge released by the famous beatmaker, the Canadian continues to face the wrath of the fans, which emerged after he targeted Metro Boomin’s girlfriend on a recent track.

However, the controversy between Drake and the Williams family isn’t something that initiated recently. The triangle was formed back in 2022 and was dormant from the moment.

The Drake-Serena Williams controversy: Where it all started?

Back in 2o22, Drake released a track named “Middle of the Ocean”. While everyone thought it might be just another regular rapping session from the Canadian, it turned out that a part of the lyrics was meant to take a clear dig at Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian.

The fans didn’t consider it a dead end, but calculated that the controversy was rooted in the past between the rapper and the tennis legend. 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,” Alexis tweeted, as a response to the diss track where he was negatively referred to as a ‘groupie’.

As the controversy catches fire once again, it still remains to be seen if Drake comes forward to add more heat to the already ignited controversy.
