TENNIS STAR SERENA WILLIAMS SAYS SHE'S DONE DATING FOR 'NEXT DECADE'

The 30-year-old tennis star who has dated rappers Common and Drake tells Celebuzz that her failed relationships in the past have hurt her so badly, she doesn’t want to be in a relationship for the next decade.

Serena tells Celebuzz

    I have given up on dating. It just hasn't worked out well for me. I'm a really emotional person. I give my all and everything. I do make mistakes, like every human does, but the last relationship was just too much of a heart break for me. I just can't go through that anymore.

It was hard. I just have to remove myself from that atmosphere for about the next decade or so.Dear women, don't let a broken relationship leave you bitter. Life is too short, love is too
beautiful!

COMMON CONFIRMS HE SQUASHED BEEF WITH DRAKE AT GRAMMY AWARDS

Common also assures that the beef did not stem from Drake dating Serena Williams.

Common previously revealed that the beef with Drake had ended, but the two hadn't bumped into one another until the 2012 Grammy Awards. Though rumors floated around that the rappers engaged in a scuffle backstage at the award show, Com says that they used the face-to-face opportunity to patch up their differences, explaining that he's got nothing but love for the Young Money emcee.

"We had a talk, we had a conversation. It was a face-to-face, man-to-man, a positive thing. It was a good conversation. I’ve learned to respect him even more. I already thought he was a talented guy, but just from the conversation we had, I hold even more respect for him," he said during an interview with Cabbie Richards. "We saw each other and the conversation was initiated. It was just a respectful conversation that needed to be had, so he knew that I’m not at him trying to destroy him as a human being. It was a Hip Hop battle to me. I had to put all of those things into Hip Hop... I gave him a pound, gave him a boom and it was all love."

He also denied that the beef stemmed from Drake dating his ex-girlfriend Serena Williams. Though he admits that many fights begin because of relationship faux pas, the Chicago, Illinois emcee says that it stemmed from Drizzy taking shots at him.

"Nah, it wasn’t about Serena. First of all, that is a past situation. The battle is over, it’s all love. But it was more based on the fact that I felt like Drake was taking a couple of shots at me, and saying a couple of things that I felt like were towards me. Once that was said, I felt a little disrespected and it kept going on and I decided to say what I needed to say at that point. I think first and foremost, he’s a very talented guy and I send much love to him and to continue to do what he’s doing. I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing. It was a good battle, we got it done, it’s done. It’s over. It’s not over any woman."

COMMON BRINGS OUT STEVIE WONDER DURING POST-GRAMMY PERFORMANCE

Com Sense got a little help from Stevie, who tributed Whitney Houston during his performance.

Last night, Common brought out Stevie Wonder during a post-Grammy Awards performance at the Conga Room at L.A. Live in Los Angeles, California.

While performing "The People," Com spit the line, "At the Grammy's, though they tried to India.Arie me / Got back stage, and I bumped into Stevie," upon which the veteran singer came out on stage. He freestyled over a breakbeat, later segueing into "My Cherie Amour" and tributing Whitney Houston with a rendition of "I Wanna Dance With Somebody."

DRAKE SAYS HE WON'T RESPOND TO COMMON DISS, HE IS RECORDING NEW MUSIC

After Common said the beef was over, Drizzy says he won't entertain the battle in the future.

Common recently said that he is ready to move on from the beef with Drake, to which Drizzy has finally broken his silence. On the set of the video for “The Motto” with The Weeknd, Nah Right’s Nation spoke with the Young Money rapper who said he wouldn’t record another diss track towards Com and said that he used the beef to promote his latest album, The Dreamer, The Believer.

“No. Because despite how it’s been worded by him that situation is not a ‘hip hop moment’ or a ‘battle for the sake of musical integrity’…it’s a ploy for attention around the release of an album,” he said. “More than anything it was just disappointing cause what kid isn’t a fan of what Common has done for our genre. A guy who made such an incredible career for himself based off expressing genuine feelings about life and love is now targeting me for sharing my story.”

Additionally, Drake said that he plans to tour through 2012 and has already begun recording new music.

“I have begun working on new music already and I’ll be recording during the whole college tour with 40. Making better music and building myself as a business is all that’s on my mind. Hopefully some acting as well.”

COMMON EXPLAIN WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO END BEEF WITH DRAKE

Common is asked about Drake beef and shares his take on emceeing. "If you put me in the ring with anybody on the mic, I'ma destroy them."

While it has been weeks since Common and Drake have mentioned one another in rhyme form, they are still asked about their feud. Recently, Common was asked how this feud could end. He took the opportunity to shed light on why the rhyme battle began, saying that he's prepared to "destroy," but adding that he doesn't dislike Drake personally.

"I really honestly don't know how things will end," he shared in an interview with Bossip. "I just want to put out there that it's not a thing where I don't like him as a human being or like I got something against him personally. That's not what it is. You dissed me on record. I know you felt a certain way about certain things so if you dissed me so I had to say what I had to say. If you come at me, I'ma fight until the end. I'm not talking about physical. I'm talking about emceeing."

Com also added that he isn't just confident in a battle with Drake. Instead, Com noted that he feels he can stand toe-to-toe with any emcee in a rhyme bout.

"I feel like if you put me in the ring with anybody on the mic, I'ma destroy them. I don't care who it is. That's how I feel. At the end of the day, that's how every emcee should feel."

COMMON REMIXES RICK ROSS' "STAY SCHEMIN," DISSES DRAKE

Com makes it clear that he's going at Drizzy on his latest diss cut.

Common has extended his beef with Drake to another diss track. Com, who originally sparked the war of words with his salty cut "Sweet," has recorded a remix to Rick Ross' "Stay Schemin" that originally featured Drake and French Montana.

Releasing the remix to MTV News, Com photoshopped "That Hoe Ass Nigg%" where Drake's name would be on cover art for the cut. He leaves Drake's verse intact, which features lines including "I see no need to compete with niggas like y'all."

Com unleashes on Drake on his following verse, even calling him out by name. "My motto is Chicago bitch, everybody know you're sweet, what the problem is? / Don't play dumb, I'm the one that acknowledged this," "The rapper of the moment, the style he don't own it / Acting all hard when he hardly like that / You gon' mess around and make me catch a body like that / Don't do it, 'cause every song you make Joe is really hoe music."
