Alexis Ohanian praises Serena Williams’ Super Bowl halftime show cameo performance: 'Pretty fantastic'

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA: Alexis Ohanian gave a sweet compliment to his wife Serena Williams after her surprise appearance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

The Reddit co-founder took to X on February 9, writing, "Pretty fantastic halftime show."

Serena Williams' Super Bowl cameo

Serena Williams, who shares daughters Alexis Olympia, seven, and Adira, 16 months, with Alexis Ohanian, took the stage briefly during Kendrick Lamar’s performance of his Drake diss track 'Not Like Us.'

Dressed in a stylish blue tennis skirt set, the Grand Slam champion was seen enthusiastically dancing, marking a special moment in her post-tennis career.

Following her cameo, Serena celebrated the moment on social media, writing on X alongside a clip of her posing for photos, "Let's go Super Bowl halftime. I died a little!"

She also joked about her iconic Crip Walk dance move, humorously comparing it to her past celebrations at Wimbledon and the Olympics.

"Man, I did not Crip Walk like that at Wimbledon. I would be fined!" she quipped in a video.

Serena had previously commented on the ongoing drama between Kendrick Lamar and her ex-boyfriend Drake, which led to the OVO founder filing a lawsuit against Universal Music Group.

Speaking at the 2024 ESPY Awards in July, she joked, "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."

"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," she added, according to E! News.

Fans surprised by Serena Williams' Super Bowl cameo

"Personification of "Sometimes you have to pop out and show..." a user wrote. An individual penned, "I’ve watched this like 20 times already and can’t get enough."
