Serena Williams' surprise appearance at Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show has fueled speculation about her involvement in the ongoing rap feud between Lamar and Drake. The text delves into the history of Drake's pursuit of Williams and Lamar's lyrical commentary on the situation.
There was a long list of predicted guest stars during Kendrick Lamar ’s Super Bowl halftime show performance. And Serena Williams wasn’t one of them. But the bizarre backstory behind the move has been explained, and it adds to Lamar’s ongoing rap feud with Drake . However, during Lamar’s set, Williams could be seen doing the Crip Walk dance, which she famously performed after winning gold at the 2012 Olympics.
This appearance seemingly fueled the rivalry between Lamar and Drake, as Williams was once romantically linked to Drake.Years ago, writer Ben Rothenberg detailed Drake’s intense pursuit of Serena Williams. Rothenberg wrote, “He trailed Serena around the Wimbledon facilities like a puppy, following her wherever he could.” He added, “It wasn’t shocking that Drake was also there when Serena played in Toronto a month later, since that’s his hometown. But I was genuinely stunned to see Drake trailing Serena to her next tournament after that, too, schlepping to the far-flung Cincinnati suburb of Mason, Ohio to remain by her side.” It’s believed the pair were dating at one point, but it didn’t matter long-term as Williams had a few months earlier met future husband Alexis Ohanian, and Ohanian was soon the frequent extra in her entourage over Drake. Lamar rapped about the couple in his 2022 song ‘Middle of the Ocean’, saying: ”Sidebar, Serena, your husband a groupie / He claim we don’t got a problem but / No boo, it is like you coming for sushi”. Ohanian later responded to the comment on social media, tweeting: “The reason I stay winning is because I’m relentless about being the absolute best at whatever I do, including being the best groupie for my wife & daughter.” Williams replied happily with heart face emojis to her husband’s post and clearly has not forgotten Drake’s insults, leading to her Super Bowl appearance supporting Lamar - Drake’s greatest rival.
