Serena Williams surprised fans when she appeared during the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show. Performing alongside Kendrick Lamar, the tennis legend showed a different side of herself, dancing to Lamar’s hit “Not Like Us.” The crowd was thrilled by her energy, and Williams herself couldn’t contain her excitement.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Williams, 43, shared a video of herself dancing in a blue pleated mini skirt and matching jacket, paired with a white top. She completed the look with blue-and-white sneakers and wore her hair down. “Let’s go Super Bowl halftime??! I died a little!” she wrote, expressing her excitement and joy.
Serena Williams’ Impact on Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s Feud
Williams’ appearance took on an extra layer of meaning, especially since Lamar performed “Not Like Us”—a track often seen as a diss aimed at rapper Drake. Fans quickly noticed that Williams and Drake were once romantically linked in the early 2010s, though neither confirmed their relationship.
“Bruhhh Kendrick got Serena Williams to Crip Walk at the damn Super Bowl. There’s no way Drake can come back from this lmao,” one fan tweeted. The Crip Walk dance has deep ties to Compton, California, where both Lamar and Williams grew up. Another fan added, “the crowd…..serena williams …..drake is never gonna show his face again.”

Williams had a fun response to her dancing moves. She posted on X, saying, “Man, I did not Crip Walk like that at Wimbledon. Ooh, I would have been fined!” She emphasized that it was all about fun, captioning the video, “Super Bowl halftime show babyyyyyy.”
This performance brought back memories of 2012 when Williams Crip Walked after securing her “Golden Slam” title. Her earlier moves sparked criticism, but at the Super Bowl, her dance was all about enjoying the moment.
