Tennis icon Serena Williams made headlines with her surprise appearance during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show, where she was seen dancing to the diss track "Not Like Us"—a song aimed at her ex-boyfriend Drake, Daily Mail reports.
Williams’ actions were particularly noteworthy, given that she and Drake were romantically linked for nearly 15 years. Many fans saw her dance as a deliberate statement, with some criticizing her for publicly siding against her former partner.
ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith was especially vocal, calling Serena’s behavior disrespectful on First Take. He argued that publicly trolling an ex in such a manner was inappropriate and even suggested that if he were her husband, he would not have tolerated it.
In addition to her Super Bowl dance cameo, Williams also supported Taylor Swift, telling her to ignore the boos she received from the crowd during the game.
As for the NFL final, the Kansas City Chiefs—led by Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce—suffered a 40-22 defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles. Speculation is now growing over whether Kelce, 35, could retire following the loss.
