Earlier, Drake said in a verse of his song 'Middle of the Ocean' from his new album 'Her Loss':

“Side bar Serena, your husband is a groupie, he claim we don’t got a problem but no boo it is like you comin’ for sushi. We might pop up on ’em at will like Suzuki."

In his response, Ohanian did not directly address Drake, but cheekily shut down the "groupie" remark. The leading American entrepreneur spoke a bit about his business ventures and said that continues to thrive because he always strives to be the best at everything he does, including being the best husband and father.

"The reason I stay winning is because I'm relentless about being the absolute best at whatever I do — including being the best groupie for my wife & daughter," Ohanian wrote on Twitter.

The former Reddit co-founder's response earned high praise from fans, who lauded Ohanian for always expressing his love and affection towards his wife Williams and their daughter Olympia, and setting an ideal example for others.

"This man is clearly proud of being the biggest & loudest cheerleader for his wife & daughter. You really need to look in the mirror and ask yourself what your major malfunction is when you think that kind of love and support is something that deserves to be mocked and belittled," another fan expressed.
