Serena Williams addressed some of the reactions to her appearance alongside Drake's rival Kendrick Lamar at the Super Bowl

Drake and Serena Williams were romantically linked in summer 2015 but never publicly commented on the alleged relationship

Serena Williams confronted criticism over her Super Bowl appearance with a bold response, shutting down speculation.

The tennis star first came under fire after fans began speculating she only danced on Drake’s grave because of their romantic history. But it was Ohanian who first painted the bigger picture for people calling his wife petty.

Serena Williams made a bold statement at Super Bowl 59, dancing during Kendrick Lamar’s diss track aimed at her ex, Drake.

Why wasn’t it, ‘Damn, Serena was great’? Why is it about some ex-boyfriend she hasn’t thought of?” Goldberg asked on “The View” Tuesday.

Drake ranted about exes onstage hours before his ex-girlfriends SZA and Serena Williams joined Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show.

During the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, Williams took the stage at the Caesar’s Superdome in New Orleans during Lamar’s Drake diss track “Not Like Us.” Williams, who reportedly dated Drake, donned a blue tennis skirt set as she did a crip walk dance.
