Serena Williams ‘picks side’ in Drake, Kendrick Lamar’s beef

American former tennis player, Serena Williams, has seemingly taken sides with her compatriot, Kendrick Lamar, in his ongoing hip-hop beef with Canadian superstar, Drake.

This is as she recently praised one of Lamar’s diss tracks targeted at Drake, ‘Not Like Us’ at the Essence Fest.

She admitted that she was in love with the song, describing it as “the hit of the summer.”

Williams added that whenever the song comes up, she vibes to it.

She said, “Oh, I love that song [‘Not Like Us’]. It’s the hit of the summer! Whew! When they play that jam, I’m jamming.”

It will be recalled that American rapper, Rick Ross, was recently attacked in Drake’s native country, Canada, after he played ‘Not Like Us’ at a Toronto concert.

Kendrick Lamar and Drake began dissing each other after the former fired shots at the latter and J.Cole on Future and Metro Boomin’s ‘Like That.’

On the record, Lamar asserted that contrary to assumptions that he, Drake and J.Cole are currently the “big 3” in the hip-hop industry, he is the world’s biggest rapper.

Since then, J.Cole and Drake have responded accordingly, releasing their own diss tracks targeted at Lamar; however, the former later apologised and deleted his diss track.

Drake, on the other hand, has continued to respond with bars to Lamar’s subsequent diss tracks, forcing the war to rage on.
