Alexis Ohanian and Drake have been at each other’s throats since 2022 when the latter and 21 Savage collaborated on the album Her Loss.
In the song Middle of the Ocean, Drizzy personally addresses Serena Williams, whom he may have briefly dated, labeling her husband as “a groupie.”
Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and Williams’ husband, took offense then and mocked the musician on Twitter by posting a picture of himself and five-year-old daughter Alexis Olympia from the sidelines of 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 stated.
The tennis player quickly expressed her support with some heart-shaped and smiling emojis in response.

“However, in the midst of Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s beef, Alexis Ohanian seems to have picked his side.His choice may have more to do with his famous wife, Serena Williams, than the two emcees’ lyrical war against each other.”

That evening, Alexis Ohanian took to X and tweeted;
The next day, Alexis Ohanian made it apparent via a clip of Kobe Bryant quoting him and using some acerbic language that some claimed was a shot at Drizzy.
Bryant was discussing how his Mamba attitude has been utilized. In the video, the late NBA legend may be heard saying: “I’m going to beat you. I’m going to let you know I beat you and I’m gonna want you to reconsider your professional life choice.”
The line “N***a better not speak on Serena” from Not Like Us makes Serena Williams’ husband’s answer appropriate.
