Drake is apparently not shying away from the shade being thrown at Serena Williams in his Instagram comment section. The rapper recently liked a comment from a user who stated that Sexyy Red, a new flame of Drake’s, is an “upgrade” from the tennis legend.
The Canadian artist posted a series of tennis-themed photos with the “Pound Town” rapper on Monday, captioning the images with, “I said tennis lesson she said where’s the bracelet or the necklace.”
One user’s comment stood out among the rest, praising Sexyy Red while simultaneously taking a jab at Serena Williams. Drake wasted no time in endorsing the comment with a like.
“Serena Williams upgrade 🔥🔥,” the fan wrote.
While there is no disrespect intended towards Sexyy Red, it is important to note that Serena Williams is widely regarded as one of the greatest female tennis players of all time. She is not only a sporting icon but also one of the most recognizable figures in the world of sports.
This is not the first time Drake has made subtle digs at Serena. In a track titled “Middle of the Ocean” released in 2022, Drake threw shade at Williams and her husband, Alexis Ohanian, whom she married in 2017.
In retaliation, Serena was involved in Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show, where Lamar performed his diss track “Not Like Us,” seemingly taking a shot at Drake.
Williams clarified that her appearance at the halftime show was not aimed at her ex but rather an opportunity to represent Compton, the neighborhood where she was raised.
Despite Williams’ explanation, Drake’s recent social media activity suggests that he may still harbor some ill feelings towards the tennis superstar. It remains to be seen how this ongoing saga between Drake and Serena Williams will unfold.
