Super Bowl 2025: Kendrick Lamar Brings Out Drake’s Ex Serena Williams During Halftime Performance

Serena Williams was serving smooth moves at the 2025 Super Bowl.

As Kendrick Lamar made history by becoming the first solo hip-hop artist to headline the halftime show, he surprised viewers by spotlighting the 23-time Grand Slam champion while performing “Not Like Us” at the Caesars Superdome in Louisiana Feb. 9.

The “Humble” rapper performed the diss track—one of many aimed at Drake amid their ongoing feud—during his medley while Serena showed off her dance moves in a blue tennis skirt and matching top.

The athlete—who reportedly dated the OVO founder in 2015—gushed over her cameo following the performance featuring Samuel L. Jackson and Drake’s other ex-girlfriend SZA. (The pair dated briefly in 2009.)

“Let’s go Super Bowl halftime,” Serena wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, alongside a clip of her getting photos taken. “I died a little!”

In a video, she quipped of her dance, “Man, I did not crip walk like that at Wimbledon. I would be fined!”
