In a captivating new video from a studio session, Drake offers a rare glimpse into his past romance with tennis legend Serena Williams. The Canadian rapper, now 37, hinted that his 2016 hit single “Too Good,” featuring Rihanna from his fourth studio album “Views,” was inspired by Williams.
In the never-before-seen footage, Drake is seen chatting with his mother, Sandi Graham, about the song’s muse. “I get heavy on a couple joints, but this is more about me and Serena,” Drake reveals, explaining the personal touch behind the track. “When I make songs about women, I also make songs for them. So, I know what kind of song to make.”
Drake elaborates on his creative process, stating, “If I’m gonna talk about them, I’ll at least do them the justice of making them a song that they like. So, I know Serena very well, and I know that she’ll hear it loud and clear, but she’ll also not hate me for it because it’s lighthearted.”
The conversation takes an interesting turn when Sandi Graham asks if “Serena” is “seeing someone else.” Drake’s swift response, “I don’t know, mom,” adds a layer of intrigue.
Williams, now 42, began her relationship with Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian shortly after she and Drake were seen getting cozy in August 2015.
Despite sources initially denying their romantic involvement, insiders confirmed to Page Six that the duo had previously dated. “Serena briefly dated Drake around 2011 and even though it didn’t end that well, they have remained friends since,” an insider disclosed.
This newly uncovered footage adds a fascinating chapter to the story of Drake and Serena Williams, offering fans a deeper understanding of the personal experiences that shape his music.
