Serena Williams is making it clear—dancing at the Super Bowl halftime show was more than just fun for her; it was personal.
The tennis legend didn’t hold back as she celebrated her moment on stage during Kendrick Lamar’s performance, revealing that dancing to Not Like Us—a song widely perceived as a diss toward Drake—was one of the best moments of her life.
“Dancing to a song that insults my ex-boyfriend, Drake, was the best day of my life,” Serena said.
Williams, who was seen vibing to Lamar’s track during the electrifying halftime show, later expressed how much she enjoyed the experience. She made it clear that it wasn’t just about the music—it was also a long-awaited opportunity to get back at her famous ex.
“I haven't danced so much in years. Thank you so much, Kendrick Lamar, for giving me the opportunity to disgrace Drake for breaking up with me. Dancing to Not Like Us at the Super Bowl while hating on Drake was amazing. It was all love for the culture—and all hate for Drake.”
Williams' comments quickly went viral, fueling speculation about her long-standing feelings toward the rapper. While Drake and Serena dated back in 2011, their romance was short-lived.
However, it appears Serena never quite let go of the breakup, and she waited patiently for 14 years to have her moment of revenge—right on one of the biggest stages in the world.
The Super Bowl halftime show was already highly anticipated, with Kendrick Lamar bringing his signature energy and lyrical depth to the performance. But for Serena, it wasn’t just about the music—it was about finally having her moment to throw shade at her famous ex.
Drake, who has a history of referencing Serena in his songs, has never been shy about his admiration for the tennis icon, even rapping about her in tracks like Worst Behavior and Back to Back.
However, their relationship ultimately ended, and it seems like Serena took the long road to settle the score.
While some fans found her comments amusing, others pointed out the sheer patience it took for Williams to wait over a decade for such a moment. The phrase “fear women” began trending on social media, with fans joking about how long Serena had been waiting to publicly dance to a diss track aimed at her former flame.
As of now, Drake hasn’t responded to Serena’s comments, but given his history of clapping back in his music, it wouldn’t be surprising if he addresses it in a future track.
For now, though, Serena is basking in the moment, celebrating what she called “one of the best days of her life” as she danced to Kendrick’s viral track, letting the world know exactly how she feels about her past with Drake.
One thing is clear—Serena knows how to play the long game, both on and off the court.
