Congratulations to tennis star, Naomi Osaka. She got her second US Open title for the 2020 US Open championship. During her tournament matches, Naomi showed her support and spotlighted names of victims of police brutality and racial injustice. In each match, she donned a mask with their names, like Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and even George Floyd. Naomi even received videos from some of the families thanking her for making such a statement. But just as she was supporting those families, there was someone supporting her. Naomi's boyfriend, YBN Cordae, well, formally YBN, was in the stands rooting for his girl! He was definitely hype with her win, as a supportive boyfriend should be. Not only was he in the stands rooting for her, but you better believe he was also on the court posing in photos with his girlfriend!

“What was the message that you got was more the question. I feel like the point is to make people start talking."
