Serena DrakeFor those of you who aren’t following up with trends in the sporting and entertainment world, Tennis queen, Serena Williams, is believed to be having a budding romance with Canadian rapper, Drake, according to reports in the media.

A footage uploaded on Instagram last week by the ‘Young Money’ rapper’s fan account @ovodrakevideos, shows the pair caught on camera kissing in public after another night date.

Drake is now copping the brunt of the negative reaction on social media to her shock loss in the US Open semi-final.

The Canadian was cheering from the stands at Flushing Meadows as the queen of tennis tried to become the first woman since Steffi Graf in 1988 to win all four grand slam titles in a calendar year.

Williams was just two wins away from a calendar-year Grand Slam when she capitulated to unseeded Italian opponent, Roberta Vinci.

Vinci pulled off such a stunning upset that many people were simply lost for words.

But as the realisation struck home that Serena’s run was over, the masses turned to blaming her woes on her rapper boyfriend.

For those unfamiliar with Drake’s reputation with sports, he was appointed the global ambassador of his hometown NBA side, Toronto Raptors, in 2013, only for the team to be wiped out that season.

Then he was famously given a cease-and-desist letter from the University of Kentucky basketball team, who he was supporting at the time, advising him to stop attending matches.

With Serena’s fall at the penultimate hurdle for the calendar-year Grand Slam, maybe the Drake curse is real after all.
