Serena Williams made a surprise appearance during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime performance, effortlessly hitting the Crip Walk in front of millions. Dressed in blue, the tennis legend brought her Compton roots to the stage, stealing the spotlight in a moment fans can’t stop talking about!
Serena Williams said she “died a little” performing at the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, but with what we saw, that’s hard to believe.
The tennis champion made a surprise appearance during Kendrick Lamar’s fiery performance of Grammy-winning hit “Not Like Us,” and at one unexpected moment, when the camera pulled back, there she was—right at the front, dressed in blue, hitting the crip walk while locking eyes with the camera.
After the show, she posted a short video while taking off her outfit. “Ooh, I did not crip walk like that at Wimbledon,” she said with a smirk. “I would have been fiiiined!”
It was a fitting moment for Serena, who, like Kendick Lamar, grew up in Compton, California. The performance was a tribute to his hometown and featured only a few special guests, including SZA and Samuel L. Jackson, making her appearance even more iconic.
