The unexpected cameo marked a notable moment for Williams, who reportedly dated Drake in 2015 – though this has never been confirmed by either party.
In a humorous moment, Williams compared her Super Bowl dance moves to her previous tennis celebrations.
“Man, I did not crip walk like that at Wimbledon. I would be fined!” she quipped in a video, referencing her famous dance moves from past Olympic and Wimbledon victories.

At the 2024 ESPY Awards, Williams had previously addressed the tension between Lamar and Drake.
“If I’ve learned anything this year, it’s that none of us, not a single one of us, not even me, should ever pick a fight with Kendrick Lamar,” she said.
She added a lighthearted warning about Drake’s hometown reception: “He will make your hometown not like you. The next time Drake sits courtside at a Raptors game, they’re going to Forrest Gump him. Seats taken.”
