Serena Williams explains Kendrick Lamar phone call that led to Super Bowl Drake diss
Serena Williams has opened up on the phone call she received from Kendrick Lamar inviting her to be part of his Super Bowl half-time show performance.
Lamar promised a surprise at his show and he delivered. The 23-time Grand Slam champion made a cameo, crip walking while Lamar performed Not Like Us, his Drake diss track.
Williams famously dated Drake a decade ago, and Lamar even has a lyric dedicated to the tennis star in his diss track.
Williams has plenty of experience competing on the biggest stadiums in tennis but the retired champion got the chance to take centre stage for a few seconds at the Super Bowl.
As Lamar got to the most highly-anticipated part of his half-time show – rapping Not Like Us despite concerns that Drake could take legal action – cameras panned to the former world No. 1 as she performed the crip walk dance, staring into the camera.
