The fallout from the Super Bowl continues, both on and off of the field. This time, it is Serena Williams who is making headlines after she responded to the comments from pundits about Drake.
The tennis legend was part of Kendrick Lamar‘s halftime show at Super Bowl LIX, as she could be seen crip walking amongst the many other dancers on the field at the Caesars Superdome when Kendrick performed ‘Not like Us’.
Many people suggested that she took part in the event purely to get back at her ex, Drake, who the song is about.
“If I’m married and my wife is going to join trolling her ex, go back to his a-,” Stephen A. Smith said earlier last week on First Take. “‘Cause clearly you don’t belong with me. What you worried about him for and you’re with me? Bye. Bye.”
Howard Stern chose to take the same opinion as Smith, saying: “He’s got a point. I hear what he’s saying,” Stern said on The Howard Stern Show Tuesday (Feb. 11) .
“She used to go out with Drake, and by dissing him at the Super Bowl, it indicates she’s still living that whole scenario. He’s right. I agree with Stephen A.”
Serena Williams responds
Williams issued an expectedly classy response to the men talking about her.
“That there my baby daddy and husband. Always got my back. I Love you,” she wrote on Xabout Alex Ohanian, her husband who has been defending her online. “Gosh I’m so late to the game (I’ve been sick) & busy investing in billion dollar companies and running @WYNbeauty… def not dancing to be petty lol.”
She continued: “I think I proved 23 times over (not counting 4 gold medals) that I simply don’t have time for petty. All love and respect always nothing negative here.”
