For less than five seconds in the closing moments of the 2025 Super BowlWilliams’ appearance was notable for several reasons: Like Lamar, she grew up in Compton, the California city known for its. Also like Lamar, Williams is not the biggest fan of Drake, to put it mildly.
Williams also has a personal connection to the specific dance she performed on the Super Bowl stage. It recalled her celebration at the Wimbledon court in London after beating Maria Sharapova to secure the gold medal at the 2012 Olympics. At the time, she faced an onslaught of criticism for what commentators described as crass and inappropriate.
“For those of y’all who weren’t outside, the media tore Serena to shreds for crip walking at Wimbledon,” one useron X. “Her coming back to do a dance that references a culture she’s actually a part of, during a live performance criticizing someone for being a culture vulture is *chef’s kiss.*” Lamar also earned praise for including Williams: “kendrick bringing out serena williams to crip walk after drake stalked that woman publicly for years and obsessively threw shots at her for turning him down is so wild, that man is the definition of chaotic good,” one X user
While others seemed to almost feel sorry for Drake: “Serena Williams crip walking to a song about you being a pedophile has to hurt existentially,”another: “If my ex girlfriend was on the tv crip walking to a song calling me a pedophile at the super bowl my feelings would be hurt to say the least.”TIME may receive compensation for some links to products and services on this website.
