Drake and Anna Wintour at Serena Williams Fashion Week show |
After being blamed on social media for Serena Williams’ US Open defeat, Drake caused more drama at her HSN Signature Statement New York Fashion Week show by having heated words with the DJ over the music.
Sitting front-row with Anna Wintour, Gigi Hadid and Lily Aldridge at Williams’ show Tuesday, Drake seemed more concerned with the show’s soundtrack, which used his songs, including “Back to Back,” which played during the finale.

Following the show, Drake first went backstage to congratulate Williams, where he was seen kissing her hand. Then, “All of a sudden he came busting out from the backstage into the runway area and approached the DJ,” says a spy. “There was an animated discussion and Drake was upset,” the witness continued. ”The DJ kept raising his arms as if to say, ‘It wasn’t my fault.’”
We hear Drake, who was blamed by angry tennis fans for distracting Williams, causing her to lose her semifinal to Roberta Vinci and missing out on Grand Slam history, was upset because the wrong music mix was played during the show. Sources said the version of his “Back to Back” was supposed to be a clean edit, but the cut mistakenly played was packed with curse words and went out live to HSN viewers. Even worse, “They didn’t want Anna Wintour to be horrified sitting there with curse words playing,” said a spy.
“I played the mix I was given,” and “This is what they gave me,” the noticeably rattled DJ was heard pleading with fuming Drake before the rapper stormed off.
Williams and Drake have been spending more time together since the Open spawned the hashtag #BlameDrake. On Monday, they dined at Bagatelle with Drake’s agent. Later that night they bowled until 2:30 a.m. at Lucky Strike.
Drake and Williams, who briefly dated in 2011, were also together Sunday night at Meatpacking hot spot Catch celebrating with Open champ Novak Djokovic. A Fashion Week source said of the couple, “They’re definitely back together. If there’s backlash from Serena’s fans, it doesn’t look like Drake’s having a problem with it.”
