Serena Williams’ cameo during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl 2025 halftime show “turned heads and raised eyebrows for a number of reasons.”
The tennis icon joined Lamar on stage as he performed “Not Like Us,” a Drake diss track. Williams showed off her dance moves while Lamar rapped. Her appearance was notable because she “dated Drake in 2011,” and their brief romance later inspired Drake’s song “Too Good,” where he repeatedly sings, “I’m too good to you.”
Now married to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, with whom she has “two daughters,” Williams’ involvement in the diss performance sparked questions. Many wondered why she participated in a song filled with “petty jabs” aimed at a relationship “from nearly 15 years ago.”
The unexpected moment blended pop culture, sports, and past relationships, leaving fans “questioning Williams’ rationale” for revisiting her history with Drake on such a massive stage.
