Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian recently reacted to a social media post by Snoop Dogg. The American rapper posted a short video from the 23-time Major winner's final Grand Slam tournament appearance at the 2022 US Open, where her elder daughter Olympia was interacting with her grandmother Oracene Price in Williams' players' box.

The American legend is arguably the greatest female tennis player of all time, with 73 pro titles and nearly $95 million in prize money winnings to her name. She played the final match of her illustrious career in front of a packed crowd at the Arthur Ashe Stadium two years ago, losing to Australia's Ajla Tomljanovic 5-7, 7-6(4), 1-6.

Snoop Dogg, a 16-time Grammy Awards nominee, took to his Instagram handle on Saturday (August 31) to upload a video from Serena Williams' final campaign at Flushing Meadows. The six-time US Open titlist's support circle, consisting of her husband Alexis Ohanian, her daughter Olympia, her mother Oracene Price, and her coach at the time, Rennae Stubbs, can be seen sitting in her players' box in the above clip.

Olympia was gorging on a lollipop as she watched Williams compete, leading to Williams' mother seemingly reprimand her. Snoop Dogg found the video, which had the caption "Every Black person in America knows what just happened here," to be funny and relatable.

"Hahaahah 🤫 😭😂," Snoop Dogg wrote in the caption of the Instagram reel.

Alexis Ohanian soon caught wind of the video from the 2022 US Open, giving a set of cheeky replies. He claimed that Price was actually approving of Olympia eating the lollipop, claiming that she actually dotes on his daughter.

"😂 Snoop you're too funny dude," Ohanian wrote in his first reply.
"what's so funny is Grandmother wasn't even mad at her, just doing the 'Olympia you got a lollipop!?' But in a playful way. Olympia has grandmother wrapped around her finger 😆 she spoils that baby!" he reasoned in another reply.

Serena Williams was invited to the US Open by the organizers last week, and she made most out of the invitation as she donned her Andre Agassi-inspired Nike denim skirt again after 20 years. The 42-year-old was all smiles in the New York Major's X post, also sporting a denim jacket over her white top.

"The Queen is back in Queens 🤩," the US Open's social media handle wrote in the caption.

Serena Williams wore a black top, black bandana and the famed denim skirt at the 2004 US Open, having inked a $60 million sponsorship deal with Nike the year prior. She lost 6-2, 4-6, 4-6 to fellow American Jennifer Capriati in the quarterfinals of the event.
