Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian recently endorsed rapper Eminem's honest take on making "diss records." Previously, Ohanian had mocked Drake over the Canadian rapper's feud with Kendrick Lamar.
Eminem burst onto the American hip-hop scene in the 1990s and since then, he has established himself as one of the most widely acclaimed rappers in the world. The 52-year-old has won 15 Grammy Awards and achieved a host of other prestigious honors.
In hip-hop, diss records and tracks involve rappers feuding with their rivals, and Eminem has delivered several of them throughout his stellar career. For instance, in 2018, the rapper released the song, 'Killshot', and its lyrics targeted Machine Gun Kelly, who had earlier released the diss track 'Rap Devil' in response to Eminem's very own 'Rap God'.
Eminem will feature in Season 2 of the show 'Rhythm and Flow'. Recently, a video of the rapper surfaced, ahead of the show, in which he said:
"I've seen diss records kill people's careers. I made a few of those."
Acknowledging the 52-year-old's words, Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian, the Reddit co-founder, took to his Instagram and shared a screenshot of Eminem's admission.
Recently, Ohanian also took a cheeky swipe at Drake after the Canadian's feud with Kendrick Lamar took an ugly turn.
Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian seemingly picked his side in the Drake-Kendrick Lamar feud
Drake and Kendrick Lamar dominated headlines in the hip-hop world throughout this year for their back-and-forth diss tracks, which increasingly escalated hostilities between the two. However, after Lamar released 'Not Like Us', he was widely perceived as the winner of the bitter feud.
However, Drake later took legal action, accusing Spotify and Universal Music Group of using bots to "artificially inflate the spread of Not Like Us." Amid the dramatic circumstances, the social media handle of Merriam-Webster put out a cheeky joke about Drake not suing the renowned publishing company over the English language Lamar used in the track.
"The rumors are NOT true. Drake is not suing us because Kendrick used English words in "Not Like Us"," Merriam-Webster's joke read.
Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian later shared the joke via Instagram Stories, an indication that the entrepreneur was on Lamar's side in the feud.
Williams and Ohanian married in 2017, shortly after the birth of daughter Olympia, their first child. The power couple became parents again last year as they welcomed daughter Adira River to the world.
