Drake Claims 'Too Good' is Inspired by Serena Williams

In a recent revelation, rapper Drake disclosed that his 2016 hit song "Too Good," featuring Rihanna, was inspired by his relationship with tennis star Serena Williams. This announcement came during a significant release of unreleased music and behind-the-scenes footage, where Drake was seen discussing the track with his mother, Sandi Graham. He emphasized the personal nature of the song, stating, "This is more about me and Serena." Drake's conversation with his mother highlighted his intention to honor the women he writes about. He expressed a desire to create music that resonates with them, ensuring that they appreciate the sentiment behind his lyrics. "If I'm gonna talk about [women], I'll at least do them the justice of making them a song that they like," he remarked, indicating his respect for Williams and their friendship. The connection between Drake and Williams dates back to 2015 when they were rumored to be dating. However, Williams later became engaged to Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit, and the couple is now married with two daughters. Williams, a legendary figure in tennis, boasts an impressive record of 23 Grand Slam singles titles and four Olympic gold medals before her retirement in September 2022. This revelation adds a new layer to the understanding of "Too Good," showcasing the personal experiences that often influence Drake's music and the relationships that shape his artistic expression.
