Serena Williams Shares Details About Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Invite
Before Sunday’s Super Bowl, 2012 was the last 12 months Serena Williams did the C-walk in front of a big audience. On the time, she had won a gold medal on the London Olympics. Nevertheless, back then, her c-walk wasn’t received with the identical praise it got on Kendrick Lamar’s stage. Actually, Williams was dragged within the press for allegedly being inappropriate and glorifying gang violence. It was not seen as a dance honoring her L.A. upbringing.
So, for Serena Williams, acting at the Bowl LIX was her lick, clap, and get back at that energy. She took the chance Kenny and his team offered to collab, and c-walked with it!
“When @kendricklamar and team called and was like ‘we’ve been attempting to do something ceaselessly, what about this? We loved your crip walk on the Olympics after you won the gold medal.’ I’m like Super Bowl? Are you serious? When on the planet would I ever give you the chance to bop at a superbowl? (Never) let’s do it! I knew my winning dance after the @olympics would repay at some point. End of story.”
