Wednesday, August 7, 2024 - Drake has confirmed a long-suspected theory about his 2016 hit song "Too Good" featuring Rihanna.
The rapper dropped never-before-seen footage from his studio
sessions, including a significant confession about the song's inspiration.
In the video, Drake is seen speaking with his mother, who is
off-camera, and admits that the song was written with tennis star Serena
Williams in mind. Despite the track's lyrics about being "too good"
for a lover, Drake clarifies that the song is both about and for Serena.
"If I'm gonna talk about [women], I'll at least do them
the justice of making them a song that they like. So, I know Serena very well
and I know that she'll hear it loud and clear," Drake explains in the
video.
He adds that he doesn't believe Serena will "hate"
him for the song, as it is intended to be lighthearted. During the
conversation, Drake's mother playfully reminds him that Serena has moved on,
likely referencing her relationship with future husband Alexis Ohanian, which
began in 2015.
Drake and Serena's relationship was confirmed after they
were spotted kissing at a Cincinnati restaurant. The pair quickly became
inseparable, attending events such as New York Fashion Week and various
restaurant openings. However, their romance was short-lived, as Serena got
engaged to Alexis by the end of 2016.
This new footage offers fans a rare glimpse into Drake's
creative process and personal life, shedding light on the real-life
inspirations behind his music.
