Tennis legend Serena Williams stunned fans with a surprise cameo during Kendrick Lamar’s electrifying Super Bowl 59 halftime show in New Orleans. As Lamar performed his viral Drake diss track “Not Like Us,” Williams took center stage with a crip walk, paying homage to their shared Compton roots.
The moment instantly went viral, fueled by Lamar’s reference to Williams in the lyrics: "From Alondra down to Central, better not speak on Serena." Social media exploded with reactions, with many speculating whether Williams' dance was a subtle nod to her past relationship with Drake.
Williams later addressed the buzz in a lighthearted post, joking, "Man, I did not crip walk like that at Wimbledon. Oooh, I would’ve been fined! It was all love."
Beyond her halftime cameo, Williams also made headlines earlier in the night for backing Taylor Swift after the singer was booed when shown on the stadium’s Jumbotron.
Lamar’s historic performance featured hits like "Humble," "DNA," and "All the Stars," making him the first solo rapper to headline the Super Bowl halftime show. However, the night’s most talked-about moment was undoubtedly Williams’ unexpected dance move, proving once again why she remains a cultural icon beyond the tennis court.
