G.O.O.D. Music’s Common has offered a take on one-time rap rival Drake’s publicized romance with his ex-girlfriend Serena Williams.

Despite a past fling, Common said he fully supported Williams and called her a friend.

“I mean, Serena’s a friend. As long as she’s happy, I’m good. Like, you know, that’s my friend. We dated and that’s done. It’s been done a long time ago. We’re friends. She’s doing super good on the tennis and she’s incredible. As long as she’s happy, I’m good.” (TMZ)

According to reports, Williams is giving Drizzy another shot at winning her over.

We’re told Serena’s willing to give him another chance because they have a “good vibe” — which was on full display in the pics TMZ posted of their dinner in Cincinnati. Still, friends are warning her to be careful she doesn’t get hurt again. Our Drake sources say it’s different this time — he treats her with more respect than his other dates because Serena’s a superstar in her own right. Translation: He doesn’t have to worry about her using him for fame. (TMZ)

Approached by media last month, Williams put a swift end to any romance speculation with Drizzy by her side.

On Thursday, when Williams beat Maria Sharapova in the semifinals, Drake was at Centre Court. Then he showed up at Williams’ news conference, too. So a reporter asked Williams whether Drake might be a “lucky mascot.” Williams rolled her eyes. Drake laughed, leaned forward and covered his face. “We’ve been friends for, like, so many years,” Williams said. “Just like family.” (Herald Online)

Prior to those remarks, Drizzy posted up pictures, including one of Serena, from a Wimbledon tennis tournament.
