Serena Williams clarified that her surprise appearance during Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl LIX halftime show was a spontaneous engagement prompted by the rapper's long-time suggestion. Excited for the opportunity, Williams referenced her popular crip walk celebration after winning Olympic gold, stating that she never expected to showcase her dance at the Super Bowl. The performance, which took place at New Orleans' Caesars Superdome, garnered significant online buzz and brought her joy, even amidst mixed reactions from commentators. Williams humorously reflected on her dance, stating that it wouldn't have been appropriate to do that at Wimbledon due to potential fines.
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,' Williams wrote Tuesday on Instagram.
I knew my winning dance after the @olympics would pay off one day. End of story.
Her surprise appearance set the internet ablaze - much to the delight of those celebrating Lamar's 'petty' display...
I did not crip walk like that at Wimbledon,' she joked in a separate video posted Sunday. 'Oh, I would've been fined.'
