In a recent interview with TIME, Serena Williams addressed rumors that her appearance during Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 2025 halftime show was intended to shade her ex-boyfriend Drake, whose music was referenced in the performance. Williams expressed her disappointment at these assumptions, clarifying there were no negative feelings towards Drake and stating the collaboration with Lamar had a deeper significance related to their shared roots in Compton. The performance coincided with Lamar's diss track that names Williams and mentions Drake, who has been legally challenging the song for defamation, emphasizing the song's contentious context.
