Serena Williams Reveals Insights on Kendrick Lamar?s Super Bowl Invitation

Before her appearance at this year?s Super Bowl, the last time Serena Williams showcased her signature C-walk in front of a large audience was back in 2012, right after she won a gold medal at the London Olympics. At that time, her dance move did not receive the enthusiastic reception it garnered on Kendrick Lamar?s stage. Instead, the media criticized her for supposedly glorifying gang culture rather than recognizing it as a celebration of her roots in Los Angeles.

Performing at Super Bowl LIX was more than just a moment for Serena; it was a chance to reclaim her narrative and turn the tables on her critics. Embracing the opportunity presented by Kendrick and his team, she confidently took to the stage and C-walked her way into the hearts of millions!

?When @kendricklamar and team called and was like ?we?ve been trying to do something forever, what about this? We loved your crip walk at the Olympics after you won the gold medal.? I?m like Super Bowl? Are you serious? When in the world would I ever be able to dance at a superbowl? (Never) let?s do it! I knew my winning dance after the @olympics would pay off one day. End of story.?

Throughout her reflections, Serena Williams neither confirmed nor denied the speculation that her Super Bowl moment included a subtle jab at Drake. In recent times, the rapper?s public admiration for the tennis star has shifted to a more contentious relationship, with him including references to her and her husband in his music.

In light of the ongoing discourse, someone should probably reach out to Boosie! It seems his recent fiery comments regarding Serena?s Super Bowl performance may have missed the mark, darling!

In subsequent posts, he also highlighted the celebratory dance break by the Philadelphia Eagles in their locker room and playfully referenced the rich and complex history of Irish step-dancing and Northern English clog dancing.
