Serena Williams has shared the story behind her surprise cameo in Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show.
The tennis extraordinaire was briefly featured dancing to Lamar’s 2024 hit, Not Like Us – a diss track taking aim at her ex-boyfriend Drake.
Now, she has revealed Lamar sought her out after watching the crip walk she performed during the 2012 Olympics.
An elated Williams agreed to take part in the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and re-do the famous dance.
She revealed how the dance came to be as she shared Super Bowl halftime behind-the-scenes footage to her Instagram account.
‘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,’ she captioned the video.
‘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.’
