Williams explains that her appearance at Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show was a shoutout to her hometown and not a diss towards Drake.
Serena emphasizes that she has never harbored negative feelings towards Drake, saying, “I have never had negative feelings towards him.”
Alexis Ohanian, Serena’s husband, also denies that the dance was about Drake, calling the issue “bigger than the music.”
Serena dismisses critics, including Stephen A. Smith, who suggested Ohanian should have been upset, stating, “We’re investing in women and in sports. This is literally the last thing on our minds.”
