Common-SerenaI’m hearing that Common and Serena Williams are officially over!! 

According to In Touch magazine, Williams and rapper/actor Common have split after two years of courtship. The celeb weekly quotes a source saying the two “just grew apart.” They appeared together at the April premiere of the romantic comedy “Date Night” in New York, but Common attended the May 4 premiere of his new movie, “Just Wright,” with his mother. A rep for Williams had no comment, and reps for Common didn’t get back to us. Source

    THIS IS A POST I PUT ON THE TOPIC OF THINGS THAT AREN’T BLACK OWNED BUT BLACK FOLK THINK ARE. I’VE DECIDED TO RE-POST THIS ON ALL THE TOPICS ON ALL THE FORUMS THAT ARE REPORTING IRRELEVANT CRAP STORIES TO ONLY SERVE TO KEEP BLACK PEOPLE DIVIDED AND BLIND

    CHECK THIS OUT NEWSONE, YOU FORGOT TO MENTION ONE PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACT!!! BLACKPLANET IS NOT BLACK OWNED!!!!!! REPEAT BLACKPLANET IS NOT BLACK OWNED, AND NEITHER IS ANY OF ITS FORUM SUBSIDIES, i.e, NEWSONE, HELLO BEAUTIFUL, URBAN DAILY, ELEV8, ect. ALL ARE OWNED BY VIACOM ALSO!!!! VIACOM(WHITE OWNED CONGLOMERATE) NOW maybe you understand why there are so few stories and/or news about how to empower all BLACK PEOPLE FINANCIALLY(which is the only true path to equality)!!!!, Yet there are so many stories about Unnecessary gossip like whats going on with Kanye and Amber, what Rush Limbaugh said about President Obama now, black women have herpes(total nonfactual untrue story at that) or the latest argument for or against interracial dating!!! ALL BULLS**T STORIES TO KEEP BLACK FOLK DEBATING ARGUING DIVIDED AND TOTALLY BLIND TO WHATS REALLY IMPORTANT!!!! SAD THING IS SOME OF YOU MENTALLY SLEEP PEOPLE WON’T EVEN READ THIS AND/OR BELIEVE IT, OR DO ANYTHING TO STAY OUT OF THE TRAP OF IT. GUESS YOU THINK RACISM IS DEAD, AND THERE ISN’T A RACIST WHITE SMALL ELITE THAT STILL MANIPULATING ALL ARE AZZEZ!!!! SMH

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/B-B-Dubyuh/ B-B-Dubyuh

    I didn’t expect them to stay together anyway. The Williams sisters like white men…said so themselves. They said it’s hard to find a black man on their level… Hmmm…

    Not every “star couple” can make things work. (Chris and Rihanna proved that) But there might have been some disagreement, somewhere down the line, which led to this break-up. Knowing Common, a “rapper” should not have a problem finding a new girl, but Serena is a STRONG and COMPETITIVE female, who may have to wait for someone “better” than (or just as good as) Common, if she is to move on with her life….Hope it works out.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SexyMoneyMaker/ SexyMoneyMaker

    Damn can anybody keep it together past a few months or a few yrs? If those that have it all cant make it work what does that say for the rest of us ???

    Stars need to realize that they should date other stars. Status is not part of the compatibility chart.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Cherish_This_Diva/ Cherish_This_Diva

    I just want to say this. How in the world Commen Seen Her as attractive. I am Not saying that Serena Is Unattractive all I am just saying is Why in the world he want something that Is Masculin,Buffer Then Him and that doesn’t have No Feminisim So her Body… Shes Just come off looking like a man. They don’t make a wonderful Looking Couple atll.

    If Serena Get herself Off Of that STEROIDS. Maybe She would look More appealing and attractive looking. Whatg was really wrong in the relationship.. As You can See in the Photos. She doesn’t Come off as Girlfriend Material. She come’s off More Then just a friend. She Doesn’t seem Intrested. Nor you don’t see in the Photos that they are Kissy Huggy filly type. They are more seperated then anything. I think She doens’t know how to handle herself as a womento me but more as a male type Figure.

    Um. I think Commen can do better. He look’s and acts and want’s to be Intrested In her. But It just not comming Of in that matter. For the fact I do believe. Serena is Just Only 28 years of age. And she Is probally Not looking or was ready to be in one. They should have stayed as friend’s, and never Perseud this As Couples.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/vvicsmith45/ vvicsmith45

    Grow up Shorty, mind yours!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CincinnatiBlues/ CincinnatiBlues

    I think that this is all speculation. Common is a down to earth Brotha & he may have just wanted his mom to be there for his FIRST LEADING MALE ROLE. She is after all the woman who made it all possible. & About Serena…..she’s been an athlete her entire life. Nothing wrong with having muscles.& if you look into Common and how he respects women and treats them like Queens that’s WHY they are not all about the PDA because that is objectifying her, her respects her mind & I think that there should be more men that are that respectful..(Grabbing my ass in public is not cute, especially when I’m grown) Kissy face is teenage stuff.

    That chic is WAY to manly looking, good tennis player but DAYUM ugly IMO.

    BLACK PEOPLE WE NEED TO DO BETTER, WE ARE SO QUICK TO SAY WHAT A PERSON LOOKS LIKE………..COMMON IS A CONSCIOUS BROTHER AND I TRUST HIS JUDGEMENT ON THE WOMAN “HE” CHOSE TO DATE….WE ARE OUR WORSE CRITICS! PLEASE DO BETTA PEOPLE. SO MUCH HATE.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sakapfet812/ sakapfet812

    YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY STUPID LACK OF KNOWLEDGE …YOU CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT ‘S ATTRACTIVE TO SOME ONE ELSE,EVERY ONE LIKES WHAT ,HOW THE THEY LIKE WHOM THEY WANT….YOU MAY THINK SHE ‘S NOT ATTRACTIVE OBVIOUSLY SHE DOES TO HIM,THAT’S CRAZY YOU SHOULD JUST NOT SPEAK THAT’S HOW I CAN DETERMINE HOW IGNORANT YOU ARE ,NO UNDERSTANDING,DEFINITELY NO COMMON SENSE….LOL….I LAUGH AT PEOPLE LIKE YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING AS IF YOU ANY BETTER ..YOU PROBABLY SOME TRASH SOME WHERE IN THE HOOD…SOME OF YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING NEGATIVE TO SAY…AND WONDER WHY NOTHING POSITIVE CAN HAPPEN IN YOUR LIVES….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ChoclatLust/ ChoclatLust

    I don’t believe this story. He was just on the Wendy Williams show a couple of weeks ago talking about how happy he and Serena are.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DaBLkMan2TaLk2/ DaBLkMan2TaLk2

    Love Common, also love Serena. But who’s saying that she’s unattractive? Come on ya’ll, Serena is beautiful. Her profession allows for that type of physique. I would kill just to have one night with Serena :-)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DaBLkMan2TaLk2/ DaBLkMan2TaLk2

    Regardless of what the situation is/was, I still wish em’ both well.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Emerald_City_Beauty/ Emerald_City_Beauty

    @ Rayskilla6 – Great Post! That’s same thing I was saying on my page and then you have the black people who don’t want to believe that these sites are here to keep us divided rather than together and uplifting each other as a race. Common was just on the Wendy Williams Show last week saying how much he cared for her and that they were happy. So I know things can happen in a week, but why even report this? Yeah, it’s true that Americans like Drama and all, but gosh, you guys just seem to find all the bad things on our race and just continue to stab us in the F’ing back with it. But that’s what happens when black companies sell our assets to the white man. Please people, let’s all stand together and not let these silly articles continue to divide and conquer our race? No, I’m not talking about when it comes to black men and women dating outside our race or other BS like that cuz that’s not an issue with me. My issue comes when we are on here using these negative articles to bring each other down when half the shyt they print is BS anyways. Stand together and strong people so that we can rise as a race rather than continue to fall. Is there any hope or are we doomed.

    Either way…I wish Serena and Common the best in whatever they do whether it be together or apart.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Deyanju1/ Deyanju1

    i would wife that in a heartbeat..common..cmon son….lol…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Perionne27/ Perionne27

    Umm…Cherish…seriously, are you really that vain? Did it ever occur to you that maybe Common sees her as beautiful, and appreciated her? Did it also occur to you that maybe she was a good match for him? Why on earth would you make a comment about her looks when that has nothing to do with their relationship? All this “you could do better” talk, as if that’s all that matters

    And FYI, a lot of men find Serena attractive. Actually, when she did that Sports Illustrated spread a reasonable amount of men were drooling. Also, a lot of couples aren’t “lovey dovey” in public, and they were together for 2 years. For someone who’s claiming they should have never been a couple, you sure act like you were a part of their relationship. If what you stated wasn’t vain idk what is

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/love-lyme/ love-lyme

    I love them together…people who have negative comments about Serena…I could almost imagine how you look…how dare you speak negatively about a positive black woman…your just jealous because your a nobody…..this is the problem with woman in general..thats why this is a man’s world…woman will never rule!!! to envious of each other…and I definately am not feeling that….good luck on your self esteem!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/journey360/ journey360

    COMMON WAS BAD FOR SERENA…SINCE THEY GOT TOGETHER SHE BECAME A MEAN VIOLENT SPEAKING GHETTO THREATENING PSYCHO ON THE TENNIS COURT…COMMON DID NOTHING TO HELP IMPROVE HER IMAGE…ANOTHER VERY TOXIC RELATIONSHIP.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Knott_Amused/ Knott_Amused

    NOW do a split screen of where he said that he definately wants to marry her??????????????????
    Wasnt that just yesterday???? Well thats how relationships go for celebrities, so I wouldnt even waste valuable software and pixels on their relationships any longer, because they dont last longer than a page refresh no way.

    With a tilt of the stem,
    Cheers :p

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/STREETxtc/ STREETxtc

    I thought serena was fine, what happen to her? looking bad built in all them pics. guess she dont have all that spandex to keep all that fat in one place . ok that was 30 seconds of my life , holla

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Grn_Eyed_QT/ Grn_Eyed_QT

    So they broke up…why is that news?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/odoggz/ odoggz

    I knew it wouldn’t last. Common is a smart guy and this chick just plays Tennis and she says very ignorant, ghetto things, which we all try to overlook since she and her sis are making history and representing blacks- in sports. He just gave her a ‘good black man’ experience, and like most modern, black chicks, she couldn’t handle it. Common needs to get a smart, educated woman, who will romance his mind, end of story. A Williams sister is to stimulating your mind, like a Wayans brother is to stimulating your mind.
    She’ll be with a white man next, just be on the lookout for that. She needs someone who will just fuk her, be dragged around for photo shoots, and not care about how she sounds like a 13 year old child who never grew up, when she speaks.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/1SexcellentGal/ 1SexcellentGal

    He was on Ellen recently and he was all smiles and what not. Talking about family and kids. I like Serena and I don’t care what some people say about her. Those smiles on Common’s face reaches his eyes. I liked them together. Hope it’s not true.

    A toast to: Serena & Common!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Perionne27/ Perionne27

    So..Serena’s “ghetto” why exactly? Because she cursed on a tennis court? Yea tennis players have never cursed on the court before….and if they did I’m sure the term “ghetto” was used for them too ._.

    Hell, I had no idea that these two were even dating.
    Common looks too passive for her.
    I’ll bet Serena is anal as hell!!!
    And it would make sense because she is a female athlete.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kaikai7/ kaikai7

    Well Common seems like a gentleman.He spoke very well of Serena on the Wendy Williams show. They seemed to care deeply for oneanother so, this could be just a rumor. Then again it’s possible that people grow apart so who knows.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/PRETTYMUCH/ PRETTYMUCH

    I’M SORRY I’M GLAD, I REALLY DIDNT THINK COMMON WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR SERENA, HE IS LOOKING LIKE A WHOLE COKE HEAD, LOSING WEIGHT, ALWAYS CAME ACROSS AS A GOLD DIGGIN TYPE DUDE AND AS AN ARTIST HE RANKS FAR AND FEW IN BETWEEN ON THE HIT LIST

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/brionjohnson/ brionjohnson

    I would like to see both Williams sisters be more natural in their appearance (getting rid of the wigs and weaves), and return to cane rows or corn rows depending on where your slave experience comes from. Common is a great rapper and I wish him and the williams sisters continued success.
