Serena Williams recently addressed speculation surrounding her cameo during Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime show, firmly dismissing claims that it was aimed at her ex-boyfriend, Drake.

She clarified that her intention was to honor their shared roots in Compton, California, rather than create any drama.

The Super Bowl featured a matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs, where the Chiefs faced a crushing defeat overshadowed by Lamar's halftime performance.

Kendrick Lamar made history as the first solo rapper to headline the Super Bowl Halftime show, garnering 133.5 million live viewers and 119 million YouTube views, making it the most-watched performance ever.

Williams humorously shared her efforts to get an autograph from Taylor Swift for her daughter, Olympia, highlighting her priorities as a mother during the event.

Both Williams and her husband, Alexis Ohanian, are committed to investing in women's sports, with Ohanian being a stakeholder in Angel City FC and Williams becoming part owner of the new WNBA team, Toronto Tempo.

Despite ongoing speculation, Williams emphasized that public interpretations of celebrity actions often lead to unfounded theories.

Williams expressed sadness over the speculation regarding her performance, emphasizing that such accusations are unfounded and that she focuses on positivity.

She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to perform, highlighting the positive experience of the event and her long-standing desire to collaborate with Kendrick Lamar.

In a recent interview, Williams discussed her successful year in 2024, including her investments through Serena Ventures and her new role as a WNBA team owner.

She also revealed her decision to keep her distance from Swift at the Super Bowl, where Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, played for the Chiefs.

Williams criticized the negative reaction from the crowd towards Swift, describing it as 'mean' and 'awful'.
