Drake may still be in his feelings.
In Drake’s latest Instagram post, fans believe the “Nokia” rapper threw shade at his ex-girlfriend, tennis icon Serena Williams.
On Monday, November 17, “One Dance” released a tennis-themed photo shoot with Sexxy Red. In the caption, Drizzy wrote, “I said tennis class, she said where is the bracelet or necklace.”
The tennis photoshoot wasn’t necessarily a jab at Williams, but it was in the comments section in which Drake seemingly replaced the athlete.
“Serena Williams upgrade (fire emoji X2),” the fan wrote, which Drizzy co-signed by “liking” the comment.
In addition to this comment, others were apparently excited to see the “Rich Baby Daddy” collaborators soak up some sun and have fun on the tennis court.
“I’m living my dreams bro,” one fan wrote.
“I love this side quest,” reacted another fan.
“My baby zeddy,” Sexxy commented.
Do Drake and Serena Williams have beef?
The rapper and the 23-time Grand Slam champion were rumored to have dated between 2011 and 2015, and there have been jabs thrown by Drake over the years. On his 2022 track “Middle of the Ocean,” he calls Williams by name when he raps, “Sidebar Serena, your husband is a groupie.” Williams married Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian in 2017, and they have two daughters together.
However, this was just the latest bar regarding their rumored relationship. His 2016 track “Too Good” was inspired by the tennis icon, and on “Worst Behavior” he raps about winning a match against her.
“I’m with my whole set, crib tennis matches/I swear I could beat Serena when she plays with her left,” he raps.
Williams also faced criticism earlier this year when she made an appearance during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime performance during his five-time Grammy Award-winning diss track “Not Like Us,” which was aimed at the Toronto rapper.
While many fans thought she was trying to get revenge on Drake, the tennis icon clarified that she did no such thing to her. TIME100 profile earlier this year.
“Absolutely not,” Williams said if she was being petty in joining Kendrick, who was in a rap feud with Drake in 2024. “I would never do that. And it was sad, that anyone would think that. I respect how they can.”
She continued, “Obviously, I can see how someone would think that. But absolutely not. I’ve never had any negative feelings towards him. We’ve known him for so many years.”
If there is beef, it appears to be one-sided.
