OVH*e has seemingly been replacing Drake<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s acronym for \u2018October\u2019s Very Own\u2019 ever since Kendrick Lamar<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0dropped his music video for \u2018Not Like Us\u2019 three days ago, and it seems like tennis icon Serena Williams<\/strong><\/a> is in full agreement that this song, filled with visual and lyrical disses towards her ex-\u2018fan\u2019, is \u201cthe hit of the summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about the diss track at a panel at the ESSENCE Festival of Culture in New Orleans, the 42-year-old tennis icon communicated clearly that the song is her jam.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love that song. It\u2019s like the hit of the summer. When they play that jam, I\u2019m jamming,\u201d said Williams. \u201cThat jam is jamming.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou definitely Crip walking in that song. It\u2019s so cool what he did though. Bringing everyone to the stage? That was incredible \u2026 I couldn\u2019t believe it,\u201d Williams continued, who is also from Compton.<\/p>\n

One can\u2019t fully conclude how the relationship between Williams and Drake ended as there were no explicit confirmations of the duo first dating, but it seems that the \u2018Teenage Fever\u2019 rapper was in his feelings when he wrote \u2018Her Loss\u2019 in his collaboration album with 21 Savage<\/strong><\/a>. He took an overt dig at William\u2019s husband Alex Ohanian<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and Reddit co-founder.<\/p>\n

\u201cSidebar, Serena, your husband a groupie \/ He claim we don\u2019t got a problem but \/ No, boo, it is, like you comin\u2019 for sushi \/ We might pop up on \u2019em at will like Suzuki,\u201d he raps on the solo song, \u201cMiddle Of The Ocean.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her husband then posted on X, \u201cThe reason I stay winning is because I\u2019m relentless about being the absolute best at whatever I do \u2014 including being the best groupie for my wife & daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Possible Timeline of Serena & Drake<\/h2>\n

In 2011, he was first recorded attending her matches and even hinted at their relationship on Twitter, where he wrote, \u201c@serenawilliams I cannot wait to put it on you and make you sweat\u2026\u2026\u2026.during our match this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

From there, he name-dropped Williams on his song \u2018Worst Behaviour\u2019 in 2013. \u201cI\u2019m with my whole set \/ Tennis matches at the crib \/ I swear I could beat Serena when she playin\u2019 with her left.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soon, Drake and Common started to exchange digs at each other which Common later admits, \u201cUnfortunately the war might have been over a girl, even though at the time I never said that.\u201d The 52-year-old rapper dated Williams from 2007 to 2010.<\/p>\n

From that point on, there were two alleged videos of them making out that circulated online \u2014 once in a Cincinnati restaurant and the other leaving a spot to get into a car in 2015. Drake continued to be spotted at her tennis games over the years, and the last one he was seen attending was Wimbledon 2018.<\/p>\n

Williams married Ohanian in 2017, and the couple welcomed their first child, Alexis Olympia, that same year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
