Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, is proud to be her biggest fan!
As you know, Drake released a new album with 21 Savage called Her Loss on Friday, and some of the lyrics have many people raising their eyebrows — including one he rapped about the tennis star’s hubby. In one of the new track’s Middle of the Ocean, the 36-year-old rapper, who was linked to Serena in 2015, took aim at the Reddit co-founder and dissed him for being a “groupie” to Serena. He says in the song:
“Sidebar, Serena, your husband a groupie / He claim we don’t got a problem but / No, boo, it is like you comin’ for sushi / We might pop up on ’em at will like Suzuki.”
However, Drake calling the 39-year-old entrepreneur a groupie for Serena is not the insult The Motto artist may think it is! Later on Friday, Alexis responded to the song by gushing about Serena and their 5-year-old daughter Olympia in a Twitter thread promoting a new profile about him and his career. He expressed:
“It’s cliche, but life changed when I became a husband + papa. It’s made me 100x better as a man and a businessman. In @serenawilliams I found a partner I knew I would never outgrow, who would always motivate me to be Greater. And in 776, I found partners + team who do the same.”
He continued:
“I’m grateful. Everything I accomplished before those hard convos in 2020 is irrelevant to me compared to the work Jr will see me doing now. Creating one multi-billion dollar company (& seeding 35+ more) taught me a lot, now we’re going to scale that using software + empathy.”
Alexis then ended the post by sharing a picture of him and Olympia cheering Serena on from the sidelines during a tennis match and writing:
“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.”
Nothing better than seeing someone proud of their loved ones! Ch-ch-check out his clap back at the song (below):
