Yes, that was tennis pro (and Drake's ex) Serena Williams in Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show

Oh, what we would give to be a fly on the wall in Drake's house as he watches Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show.

Not only did Lamar come through on his many teases to perform his Drake diss track "Not Like Us" during his big performance, but he even brought out tennis superstar and Drake's ex Serena Williams to dance on stage for the moment.

Williams appeared briefly but, oh, so memorably. She executed a Crip Walk, which was something she performed on the tennis court in a meme-making moment. She also posted behind-the-scenes video and photos of herself getting ready backstage, as well as de-costuming afterward.

"Let’s go Super Bowl halftime??! I died a little!" Williams wrote on Instagram.

In a separate video shared to social media, she acknowledged backstage after the halftime show, "Man, I did not Crip Walk like that in Wimbledon. Ooo! I would've been fined!"

Williams garnered attention elsewhere during the Super Bowl when she took to Twitter/X to show support for Taylor Swift, who got booed by rowdy fans at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans when she appeared on the jumbotron. "I love you @taylorswift13 dont listen to those booo!!" she tweeted.

It's no secret Drake and Lamar have been beefing as of late, but...damn. Drake and Williams were linked from around 2011 to 2015, according to reports, and she later became a subject of his 2013 track "Worst Behavior." More recently, Williams, who is married to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, danced to Lamar's "Not Like Us" and made fun of Drake briefly during the 2024 ESPYs. So the slings have been mutual.

At least for now, though, someone should call time of death.
