Drake Serenades Rihanna & Not Serena Williams in “Tell Your Friends (Remix)”

Drake reinvented The Weeknd’s Kanye West-produced single from Beauty Behind The Madness, “Tell Your Friends,” garnishing the track with a verse. The song was premiered by OVO Sound co-founder Oliver El-Khatib on the fifth episode of Beats 1’s OVOSOUND RADIO show. 

Quite obviously, Drizzy serenades a special woman in his life in the remix. Lines like “the ball is in your court” and “you’re too famous to buy you purses” make it too easy to suggest he is speaking about Serena Williams, with whom he was recently spotted making out. However, users on KTT discovered information which reveals he is actually rapping about Rihanna. 

Drake’s version of “Tell Your Friends” begins with the bars, “Live from the Waldorf in Berlin / Coming at you once again / With stories of truth and stories of sin.” According to this Instagram video from the rapper, he was in Berlin on February 28th, 2014. Chances are this is not his last trip to the capital of Germany since then, but the fact that he brought out Kanye West during his tour stop in the city the night before might mean he received the instrumental for the track right after the gig. 

What is more, it is a well-known fact that Rihanna was basically following Drake during his Would You Like A Tour? leg in Europe. She was spotted attending over 6 Drake shows through the Old Continent. The bars, “Cause your serious has just been not that serious / Got me on tour acting like I’m not that curious / Ignoring all the p**** that's thrown at me,” easily fit the status of his relationship with RiRi year and a half ago. 

While we are waiting for the official stream of the track, you can listen to it on this link, courtesy of HHNM.
