It seems like there might be some subtle shade being thrown in the music world, and Drake might be adding fuel to the fire. After Serena Williams’ appearance with Kendrick Lamar during the Super Bowl Halftime Show, which some interpreted as a jab at Drake, the rapper has seemingly responded on Instagram.
A Tennis Court Post and a Telling Like
Drake recently shared a series of photos on Instagram featuring himself and rapper Sexyy Red on a tennis court. His caption read, “I said tennis lesson she said where’s the bracelet or the necklace.” This post, hinting at a playful interaction, quickly drew comments from fans.
One user commented, “Serena Williams upgrade,” adding a fire emoji. According to reports, Drake ended up liking this specific comment. While not an explicit statement, this action has been interpreted by many as Drake co-signing the jab at Serena Williams, especially given the recent Super Bowl incident.
The Super Bowl Halftime Show Incident
The context for this potential online exchange stems from earlier this year when Serena Williams joined Kendrick Lamar on stage during the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. The performance included elements that some viewers perceived as directed at Drake. However, Williams herself clarified in an interview with Time that she had no intention of disrespecting the rapper.
She stated, “I would never do that. And that was sad, that anyone would ever think that. I respect how they could. Obviously I can see how someone would think that. But absolutely not. I have never had negative feelings towards him. We’ve known him for so many years.”
Drake’s ‘Iceman’ Album Update
Meanwhile, Drake is continuing to build anticipation for his upcoming album, “Iceman.” He has already released three singles from the project: “What Did I Miss?”, “Which One” featuring Central Cee, and “Dog House” featuring Yeat and Julia Wolf. Drake has been using livestreams to debut these tracks and engage directly with fans, seeking real-time feedback on the new music.
