“The reason I stay winning is because I’m relentless about being the absolute best at whatever I do — including being the best groupie for my wife & daughter,” Ohanian wrote on Twitter. Serena Williams’ Husband Alexis Ohanian Seems to Shade Drake for Calling Him a ‘Groupie’ in New Song.
Alexis Ohanian — the Reddit co-founder and Serena Williams’ husband — has responded to Drake’s new song lyrics referring to him as a “groupie.” On Friday, Drake released a collaborative album with 21 Savage titled Her Loss. On the track “Middle of the Ocean,” the Canadian rapper takes a jab at Ohanian — but he’s not standing for it.
“Sidebar, Serena, your husband a groupie / He claim we don’t got a problem but / No, boo, it is like you comin’ for sushi,” Drake, 36, raps on the song. Since then, Ohanian, 39, seemingly responded on Twitter by sharing a photo from the sidelines with daughter Alexis Olympia, 5, at one of Williams’ tennis matches.
“The reason I stay winning is because I’m relentless about being the absolute best at whatever I do — including being the best groupie for my wife & daughter,” he wrote. Shortly after, the tennis star, 41, commented with several smiley and heart-faced emojis in support.
Fans also jumped in to support Ohanian on social media, with one writing, “Serena has gotten the man she deserves” and another writing, “GAG HIM ALEXIS.” Reps for Drake and Williams did not immediately respond to requests for comment from PEOPLE.
Drake — who was linked to Williams in 2015 and was friends with her long before then — also mentioned her in his 2013 song “Worst Behavior.” “I’m with my whole set, tennis matches at the crib / I swear I could beat Serena when she playin’ with her left,” he sang. While speaking, Drake went on to profess his undying love for Serena Williams and claimed that he would have married the tennis star had Alexis Ohanian not come into the picture. “I wanted to marry Serena Williams before Alexis Ohanian interfered,” Drake claimed.
Drake’s Mother wanted Drake to marry Serena Williams…
A Hollywood Life report said Wednesday that the rapper’s mother, Sandi Graham, thinks Serena Williams, who was reported to be the rapper’s love interest, is “the one” for him.
“Drake and his mother are really tight and like the good mensch he is. He listens to her. Sandi doesn’t really think anyone’s good for Drake, but if she had to choose one woman he’s been with it would be Serena,” a source told Hollywood Life.

“Sandi idolizes her athleticism and thinks she’s a sweet and wholesome girl, much different from the wild and over-sexualized women Drake‘s been with in the past. Like him,” the source added.
Williams is “a champion and Sandi’s encouraging him to attend all her upcoming matches at Wimbledon and make a serious play at her. Sandi’s not getting any younger and she wants grandkids from him!” the insider told the entertainment website.
