History unfolds before us! The Philadelphia Eagles dethroned the three-peat contenders Kansas City Chiefs to become the NFL champions at the recently concluded electrifying Super Bowl! But wait, the real shocker? The staggering viewership statistics from Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance! The rap icon just outshined one of the most legendary pop performances of the ’90s, rewriting Super Bowl history. And just as the stats dropped recently, Alexis Ohanian chimed in with his take, especially since his wife Serena Williams made a jaw-dropping appearance. So, what did he say? Buckle up! This one’s worth the hype…

Like every year, the Super Bowl halftime show delivered a spectacle, but this time, Kendrick Lamar set the stage on fire! The solo rap icon headlined the halftime show, bringing along R&B sensation SZA, Hollywood legend Samuel L. Jackson, and producer-extraordinaire Mustard. But the genuine surprise for the tennis world was 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams making a legendary cameo! In a moment that sent shockwaves through the crowd, Serena pulled off a divisive ‘Crip Walk’ right in the middle of Lamar’s 5x Grammy-winning smash, “Not Like Us”. And, what a show it made for!

Fast forward two days and the numbers are in for the performance. Record-breaking, mind-blowing stats that have redefined halftime show history. And you can bet that Serena’s husband, Alexis Ohanian, wasted no time flexing those staggering figures.

Just a couple of hours ago, ‘Front Office Sports’ posted a jaw-dropping stat on their Instagram page, highlighting the record-breaking Super Bowl halftime show, stating, “Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show drew 133.5 MILLION viewers—topping Michael Jackson’s longtime record as the most-watched ever,”. And as soon as the post went live, Alexis Ohanian, proud dad of two and husband to Olympic Gold medalist Serena Williams, re-shared it on his X page, adding his reaction: “Interesting”. But hold on! What record did Kendrick Lamar break, though?

The recent Super Bowl halftime performances for the last couple of years have been nothing short of spectacular. For instance, Usher’s electrifying 2024 show drew almost 123.4 million viewers, while Rihanna’s iconic 2023 performance hit 121 million. But Kendrick Lamar? He didn’t just surpass these numbers, he just shattered history! Lamar has now set his own record, dethroning none other than the “King of Pop”, Michael Jackson, whose legendary 1993 halftime show held the record at 133.4 million views alone.

A more important question: could some of that viewership be attributed to Serena Williams’ presence? It’s hard to deny outright, isn’t it? The tennis legend lit up the stage with her smooth “Crip Walk”, adding an unforgettable touch to an already historic performance.

At the already spectacular showdown in LA, Serena Williams’ cameo was an absolute shocker as just moments before kickoff, she was spotted enjoying the game from the stands. And then, suddenly, the GS queen took center stage, effortlessly pulling off a “Crip Walk” during Lamar’s performance. The move instantly took tennis fans back almost 13 years to another unforgettable moment in her legendary career!

Remember the London Olympics women’s tennis final? It was a dream showdown between two of the sport’s greatest icons: Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova. The matchup that had all the makings of an epic battle in 2012. But on that day, Maria had no answer for Serena’s absolute dominance at the All England Club, as the American superstar cruised to victory, clinching Olympic Gold in style.

However, it wasn’t just her commanding victory that stole the spotlight, it was what came right after the match: Serena’s ‘Crip Walk’ celebration! The move instantly grabbed attention, sparking conversations across the tennis fraternity. And when asked about it? Serena didn’t just brush it off, she shared the roots of the iconic dance, adding yet another layer to a moment that has now been immortalized as tennis legend.

“I don’t know. I don’t think I ever danced like that. I don’t even know where the dance came from. It’s just a dance we do in California, I’d say, West Coast. Actually, there is a name, but, I don’t know, it’s inappropriate,” she added.

As this year’s Super Bowl is done and dusted, do you think Serena will light up the tennis court anytime soon? Share your thoughts below!
