Serena Williams Steals the Show at Super Bowl LIX Halftime with Iconic Crip Walk
Venus Williams celebrated her sister Serena Williams’ surprise cameo during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime show, calling her “lil sis killing it” in a social media post. Serena, a tennis legend, joined Lamar on stage during his performance of “Not Like Us,” where she showcased her “Crip Walk,” a dance move originating from the Crips gang in her hometown of Compton, California. The dance, which she famously performed after winning at Wimbledon in 2012, has been both celebrated and criticized over the years.
Serena’s appearance during the halftime show added intrigue to Lamar’s ongoing feud with rapper Drake, as the song includes a line warning Drake not to “speak on Serena.” The two were romantically linked in the past, and Drake has referenced her in his music. Serena humorously reflected on her performance, joking in a backstage video, “Man, I did not crip walk like that at Wimbledon. Oh, I would’ve been fined!”
The dance, characterized by intricate footwork, has roots in gang culture but has since been adopted in mainstream entertainment. Serena’s Super Bowl moment was met with widespread praise, with fans and fellow athletes, including Coco Gauff, hailing her as an “icon doing iconic things.” Despite its controversial history, Serena’s performance highlighted her connection to her roots and her ability to captivate audiences both on and off the tennis court.
