Rapper-turned-actor Common has scored another top date after reportedly courting tennis ace Serena Williams.

The acclaimed hitmaker and the sports star have been spotted clubbing in both Los Angeles and Miami, Florida recently, where fellow revellers spotted the pair holding hands.

And they turned heads when they were denied access to Miami’s hot Prive Nightclub - because Common was inappropriately dressed and did not meet the venue’s strict dress code.

Previously, Common’s most high-profile romance was with R&B star Erykah Badu, while Williams enjoyed a fling with director Brett Ratner.
