AceShowbiz - Drake admitted that 2016's "Too Good" is about Serena Williams. While making his revelation to his mother Sandi Graham in never-before-seen studio footage, the Canadian rapper also explained why his ex-girlfriend wouldn't hate it.
In the clip, which was shared on Instagram as a part of 100 gigabytes content dump, the 37-year-old told his mom, who was off camera, that the Rihanna-assisted track is about "me and Serena." In response, she said, "I gathered that."
"If I'm gonna talk about [women], I'll at least do them the justice of making them a song that they like," the emcee elaborated. "So, 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."
At the end of the video, Drake's mom reminded him that Serena had already moved on to someone else as she was dating her now-husband Alexis Ohanian at the time of the song's release. Drake brushed it off by replying, "I don't know, Mom."
On "Too Good", Drake raps about his "love" for someone being taken "for granted." He spits, "Years go by too fast/ I can't keep track/ How long did we last?/ I feel bad for asking/ It can't end like this/ We gotta take time with this."
"And I wanna tell you my intentions/ I wanna do the things that I mention/ I wanna benefit from the friendship," he continues. "I wanna get the late night message from you, from you/ I put my hands around you/ Gotta get a handle on you."
Drake, however, famously dissed Serena and her husband Alexis on his "Her Loss" track, "Middle of the Ocean". He raps, "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."
