Serena Williams made a cameo appearance during the Super Bowl halftime performance, dancing along to Kendrick Lamar’s song.

The tennis legend performed a ‘Crip walk,’ a dance popularized by Henry ‘Crip’ Heard, a Harlem dancer who lost an arm and leg in a car accident.

The Crips, a group of California street gangs, picked up the dance, and Williams did it at Wimbledon in 2012 when she won Olympic gold, eliciting major outrage at the time.

Performing it again at the Super Bowl drew a few negative comments, with some people upset that she was dancing to Drake’s song, “Not Like Us.”

Drake has made multiple allusions to Serena Williams in his songs, claiming that his song ‘Too Good’ was about me and Serena,’ and the two are said to have dated between 2011 and 2015.

After her Super Bowl dance, she stated, “Man, I did not crips walk like that at Wimbledon; I would’ve been fined.”

Her husband, Alexis Ohanian, was prepared to deflect any criticism her way this time, providing screenshots of some of the things people have said about Serena in the past.

He wrote, “Some of you have no idea how slammed Serena was for doing this exact dance at Wimbledon 13 years ago, and it shows…” This is bigger than the music.”

Ohanian uploaded images of a sports commentator who claimed that Williams ‘ought to be condemned’ in 2012 and that her dancing at Wimbledon was ‘equivalent to delivering a nasty, X-rated joke inside a church.'”.

He also shared a video of Samuel L. Jackson costumed as Uncle Sam during Kendrick Lamar’s halftime concert, shouting, “Oh no, no!” It’s too loud! Too risky! Too ‘ghetto.’.

Ohanian then shared another footage from the halftime show, captionedmeanwhile, let ’em dance.’.

He seemed to be in no mood to listen to people’s nonsense about his wife’s Super Bowl participation and stage dancing.

Viewers commented that ‘Kendrick getting Serena Williams to crip walk while singing ‘Not Like Us’ is nasty work,’ while others thought it was ‘a crazy flex by Kendrick’ to have the tennis star dancing on stage while he sang about Drake.

During his song, Kendrick took off his most controversial phrase against Drake and let the Super Bowl audience sing it for him.

Drake has disputed the charges against him.
