Serena Williams steals the spotlight at the Super Bowl, rekindles old flames and stirs up drama – wait, is that Drake?
Serena Williams recently made waves (and some serious dance moves) when she surprised fans with a cameo during Kendrick Lamar's electrifying halftime show at Super Bowl 59. The former tennis champion showcased her skills in a surprise performance that included her infamous crip walk, causing the audience to erupt with cheers and applause. Known for breaking records on the tennis court, it appears Serena isn’t shy about breaking it down on stage either!
But it wasn't just Serena's dance skills that caught everyone’s attention - it also reignited conversations about her past with rapper Drake. The two were linked romantically back in 2015, and their chemistry was palpable. Many Twitter users couldn't resist commenting about the potential tension brewing between the tennis star and the Grammy-winning artist when Kendrick performed lyrics referencing his feud with Drake. Fans speculated how the former pair felt about sharing the stage in light of the unexpected flashback to their days of dating.
As the Twitter frenzy unfolded, Serena's husband Alexis Ohanian found himself in the spotlight as well, quickly reacting to criticism from sports commentator Stephen A. Smith regarding his wife's performance. Ohanian clapped back, defending Serena and reminding everyone that while she was dancing to a diss track, she was doing it with style and confidence. Clearly, the drama didn’t stop there, as many clamored to see how the different players in this unfolding relationship saga would react.
In case you missed it, this isn’t the first time Serena's public life has intertwined with pop culture. From her legendary Wimbledon wins to her friendship with celebrities, Williams has always been one to watch. Did you know that Serena was awarded the Best Female Athlete at the ESPY Awards for three consecutive years? She’s a powerhouse in both sports and entertainment, proving she can own any stage – be it a tennis court or a Super Bowl halftime show!
