Serena Williams went viral for her surprise appearance at Kendrick Lamar's performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, which many felt was a jab at Drake, her rumored ex-boyfriend.
After the rumors started flying, Serena took to Instagram to share footage of the events leading up to her big performance. She also addressed the rumors, revealing that she and Kendrick had been talking about working on something together for a while.
Serena wrote, "When @kendricklamar and team called and was 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.’ I’m like Super Bowl? Are you serious? When in the world would I ever be able to dance at a superbowl? (Never) let’s do it!"
She added, "I knew my winning dance after the @olympics would pay off one day. End of story."
Serena's husband, Alex Ohanian, also responded in her comments, writing, "Let 'em know. Like Kendrick said, 'this is bigger than music.' Folks either UNDERSTOOD that Half-Time show — or REALLY didn't. But then again, very, very, very few people carry the torch you do for so many people. Can't expect some of these jokers to be on that level if they've never breathed air that thin."
