One of the major fallouts from the 2025 Super Bowl is the crip walk by tennis icon Serena Williams during the halftime show.
Serena Williams, as part of Kendrick Lamar’s performance, did the crip-walk dance to entertain the fans.
The decision by Serena Williams to pull off the dance has generated controversy due to multiple reasons.
The tennis icon has been chastised for performing the dance move that is traditionally associated with gang culture.
Others also hold that her appearance on the show was to get back at Drake, who is her ex, as the song being performed by Kendrick Lamar at the time was a diss of Drake.
Serena Williams took to her social media pages on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, to explain the inspiration behind the dance move.
“When @kendricklamar and team called and were like ‘we’ve been trying to do something forever, what about this? We loved your crip walk at the Olympics after you won the gold medal’.”
“When in the world would I ever be able to dance at a Super Bowl? (Never) let’s do it. The best 15 seconds of my life!” she shared on social media.
The post came with a video of the dance, with Serena Williams entertaining the crowd with her moves.
