The tennis icon fronted her first awards ceremony at the Dolby Theater on Thursday night, with her good friend Meghan Markle front row to watch the occasion.

In a black dress, the recently-retired Williams, 42, came on stage to huge applause, before immediately choosing Drake as her first target.

‘If I’ve learned anything this year, it’s that none of us… not a single one of us, not even me, should ever pick a fight with Kendrick Lamar,’ she joked.

‘He will make your hometown not like you. The next time Drake sits courtside at a Raptors game, they’re going to Forrest Gump him.’

The comment comes amid ongoing beef between the two rap sensations, which began in the early 2010s but escalated earlier this year amid the release of Kendrick’s ‘Like That’.

Continuing the monologue, Williams went on to explain why she had chosen the ESPYs as her first hosting gig, noting: ‘You may be wondering why am I doing this… first of all, any opportunity to wear 16 outfits in three hours, I’m taking it.’

Next up in the firing line was Travis Kelce, who didn’t get immediately name-checked and was instead referred to slightly differently.

‘Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs,’ Williams said. ‘This year, Patrick Mahomes and Taylor Swift’s boyfriend won a Super Bowl.
