Serena Williams’ Surprise Crip Walk During Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Show Sparks Buzz
Tennis legend Serena Williams surprised fans when she appeared during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl 59 halftime show, showing off her crip walk while Kendrick performed his Grammy-winning track “Not Like Us,” which is seen as a diss aimed at Drake.
Her dance wasn’t just for fun—it was a nod to her and Kendrick’s shared roots in Compton. Fans noticed that Kendrick even mentioned Serena in his lyrics, saying: “From Alondra down to Central, better not speak on Serena.”
This moment was especially significant due to Serena’s past with Drake. The two were linked romantically in 2015, and they were often seen together before Serena moved on with her now-husband, Alexis Ohanian. While she didn’t comment directly on the past, Serena hinted at her enjoyment of the moment with a playful post on social media.
In a follow-up post, she joked: “Man, I did not crip walk like that at Wimbledon. Oooh, I would’ve been fined! It was all love.”
Earlier in the evening, Serena had also defended Taylor Swift when the singer was booed on the Jumbotron.
Fans quickly took to social media, joking about how Drake might react to the moment between Serena and Kendrick. Lamar’s performance, which included hits like “Humble,” “DNA,” and “All the Stars,” was historic, as he became the first solo rapper to headline the Super Bowl halftime show. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl final.
