As she was enjoying the food at the restaurant, she suddenly hopped onto the stage and performed an impromptu karaoke.

Moreover, one person said that someone sang ‘Gold Digger’ by Kanye West, and when the lyric ‘she gonna have a a** like Serena’ came up, the whole restaurant started laughing and whistling with Serena in attendance.
One person in attendance said, “Serena was trying to keep a straight face but she didn’t do a very good job.”
It is worth noting that Serena is also a fashion icon, having walked the ramp on numerous occasions. Apart from that, she often posts reels on her Instagram, where she shows her dancing skills as well.
Serena is gradually evolving away from tennis
After getting injured at Wimbledon 2021, Serena was inactive on the tour for more than a year. During her time off the court, she was taking care of her businesses, including raising $111 million through her venture capital firm, Serena Ventures.
