Drake confirmed that his 2016 song Too Good was inspired by Serena Williams, putting to rest years of romance speculation between the stars.
The 37-year-old Canadian rapper surprised fans by releasing 100 gigabytes of previously unseen footage from his personal archives on Tuesday.
The dump included behind-the-scenes content from recording sessions for some of his most famous tracks. Among the clips was a revealing moment showing that his 2016 Rihanna-assisted hit Too Good was written about the tennis icon.
In the clip, Drake is in a recording studio working on Too Good when his mother Sandi Graham questions him about referencing his past relationships in songs.
‘I get heavy on a couple joints but this is more about me and Serena,’ Drake replies, to which Sandi chimes in, ‘I gathered that!’

The exchange prompted him to elaborate on the songs inspired by his love life.
‘When I make songs about women, I also make songs for them so I know what kind of song to make,’ he said. ‘If I’m gonna talk about them, I’ll at least do them the justice of making them a song that they like, okay?’
He tried to reassure his mom that the athlete’s feelings would be spared, saying , ‘I know Serena very well, and I know that she’ll hear it loud and clear, but she’ll also not hate me for it because it’s lighthearted.’
Sandi hilariously interrupted to remind her son, ‘she is seeing someone else,’ likely referring to Serena’s now-husband, Alexis Ohanian, who she started dating in 2015.
One little U.S. Open loss isn’t gonna break Serena Williams and Drake — they went extremely public with their relationship at her fashion show in NYC.
The PDA went down right after Serena’s Fashion Week event … and not only did they share a kiss on camera — his lips to her hand — but she also used a bunch of his songs during the show.Here’s the thing though, you really gotta see how these 2 are staring into each other’s eyes backstage.Someone’s definitely hooked.
