Twitter decides to #BlameDrake for jinxing Serena Williams

It was a heartbreaking loss for Serena Williams. During the semifinal match of the U.S. Open, she lost to the unseeded Roberta Vinci of Italy, and now, the Internet is blaming her rumored boyfriend, Drake.

“Wherever Drake cheers, losing follows. The curse continues. #SerenaWilliams,” one Twitter user said.

“Drake jinxed Serena man,” said another.

It didn’t take long for the blame game to take root, with the hashtags #blamedrake and #drakecurse trending on Twitter after the loss.

But Drake has long been the source of blame for losses. He was blamed for the Kentucky Wildcats’ loss in the semifinals of the NCAA tournament after they had an undefeated season and has even been blamed for LeBron James’ cramps during a game against the Heat.

Maybe Drake should just stop watching sports for a while.

If I were Floyd Mayweather I would ban Drake from coming to the fight tomorrow. #BlameDrake

I'm not saying it's totally Drake's fault… but Kanye would have walked out on that court and taken a mic away from someone #BlameDrake

It's a tad satisfying to watch Drake being treated like every gf of every male athlete is treated when that male athlete loses. #blamedrake
