Drake hails super tennis star Serena Williams for inspiring him to make the 'Back to Back' 2015 superhit...
The hip-hop star also said that the US tennis icon was a 'battery' that fueled him.
The hit song was eventually nominated for a Grammy for best Rap Performance at the 58th Grammy Awards and the song made it to the Billboard to 100.
Serena's inspiration helped Drake finish the song.
Drake when talking to 'Rap Radar Podcast' said he and Williams were discussing her long standing rivalry with Maria Sharapova when she told Drake to 'finish the track and make it something listeners can't ignore.
"I was with Serena at that time and we'd be talking about her and Sharapova going back and forth all those years," said the rap star.
"And she made this comment to me and she said 'well look, if you gonna go again, you got to finish it.' "
He went on to add, "She kinda put this battery on my back."
