Drake Reveals His Rihanna Collaboration, “Too Good,” Is About Serena Williams

Drake has confirmed that his 2016 collaboration with Rihanna, “Too Good,” was inspired by Serena Williams. The news comes from a behind-the-scenes video of the Toronto rapper explaining the song to his mother that was included in his release of 100 gigabytes of material on Tuesday. He originally dropped “Too Good” on the tracklist to his album, Views.

“It’s funny because when I make songs about women, I also make songs for them. So, I know what kind of song to make. If I’m gonna talk about them, I’ll at least do them the justice of making them a song that they’ll like,” Drake says in the video. “I know Serena very well and I know that she’ll hear it loud and clear but not hate me for it because it’s lighthearted.” His mom doesn’t seem surprised to learn the song takes inspiration from Williams.

When The Neighborhood Talk reposted the clip on Instagram, fans in the comments section were highly critical. One user wrote: “He’s spiraling somebody in his contacts better check on him. Dropping these videos years later is giving obsessed. Rhianna nor Serena are thinking about you…” Another user remarked: “He definitely going through a midlife crisis.” Check out the full video below.

In addition to that video, Drake shared three new singles. They include “It’s Up,” featuring Young Thug and 21 Savage, “Blue Green Red,” and “Housekeeping Knows,” featuring Latto. Fans quickly began theorizing that 21’s verse takes aim at Kendrick Lamar. Be on the lookout for further updates on Drake on HotNewHipHop.
