Serena Williams addressed her viral Super Bowl 59 moment in a short video following rife criticism online.
The tennis icon joined Kendrick Lamar on stage for his performance at the halftime show and shocked everyone by crip walking to his “Not Like Us” Drake diss track, which fans thought was a direct shot at the Canadian rapper, given that they were rumored to have dated in 2011.
Serena’s actions saw many people lash out at her via social media, with many pointing out that she had performed a dance created by the same California gang that murdered her older sister, Yetunde Price, back in 2003.
The 43-year-old took to X to address the cameo, joking that she would have been fined had she done it “like that” at Wimbledon.
“Man I did not crip walk like that at Wimbledon, I would’ve been fined,” she said in the video shown below.

Serena Williams and Drake apparently did not break things off on good terms.
They never confirmed their relationship, but Drake did mention her in some of his songs, referring to her husband and father of her two children as a “groupie.”
Serena has never addressed the barbs publicly but seemed to take a shot at him during last year’s ESPYs, when she suggested that no one should ever pick a fight with Kendrick.
