Drake CONFIRMS years-long rumor about romance with Serena Williams.
Drake confirmed that his 2016 song Too Good was inspired by Serena Williams, putting to rest years of romance speculation between the stars.
The 37-year-old Canadian rapper surprised fans by releasing 100 gigabytes of previously unseen footage from his personal archives on Tuesday
The dump included behind-the-scenes content from recording sessions for some of his most famous tracks.
Among the clips was a revealing moment showing that his 2016 Rihanna-assisted hit Too Good was written about the tennis icon.
In the clip, Drake is in a recording studio working on Too Good when his mother Sandi Graham questions him about referencing his past relationships in songs.
‘I get heavy on a couple joints but this is more about me and Serena,’ Drake replies, to which Sandi chimes in, ‘I gathered that!’
‘When I make songs about women, I also make songs for them so I know what kind of song to make,’ he said. ‘If I’m gonna talk about them, I’ll at least do them the justice of making them a song that they like, okay?’
He tried to reassure his mom that the athlete’s feelings would be spared, saying , ‘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.’
Sandi hilariously interrupted to remind her son, ‘she is seeing someone else,’ likely referring to Serena’s now-husband, Alexis Ohanian, who she started dating in 2015.
Drake amusingly replies, ‘I don’t know, mom.’
Drake’s album Views was released in April 2016, and later that year, he and Rihanna scored a hit with Too Good.
Released as a single from the album, the track reached No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September.
The song features the lyrics, ‘I’m too good to you / I’m way too good to you / You take my love for granted / I just don’t understand it.’
