Grigor Dimitrov, one of Serena Williams’ best friends in tennis, shared his reaction to the legendary American’s crip walk performance at Super Bowl LIX in his latest Instagram story. Williams showcased her dancing abilities with the popular move during Kendrick Lamar’s half-time show.
After the show, Williams took to Instagram to share a clip of herself performing the crip walk to Lamar’s “Not Like Us”. Former ATP No. 3 Dimitrov reshared it and wrote:
Williams performing the crip walk to ‘Not Like Us’ was symbolic on multiple levels for fans. She was in a brief relationship with rapper Drake in the 2010s, at whom “Not Like Us” takes several nasty swipes.
Secondly, the former WTA No. 1 and 23-time singles Grand Slam champion stirred controversy after performing the move at Wimbledon following her women’s singles gold medal triumph at the 2012 London Olympics. Critics lambasted her due to its roots in Compton gang culture.
Dimitrov and Williams’ friendship was showcased at the 2024 US Open, where the American legend watched the Bulgarian’s fourth-round match against Andrey Rublev.
