Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, defends her Super Bowl 2025 halftime show cameo dissing Drake

The Reddit co-founder defended Serena Williams against a hater bashing her Super Bowl 2025 halftime show cameo with Kendrick Lamar.

Ohanian, 41, shared a quote via X of Fox Sports’ Jason Whitlock comparing Williams’ viral crip-walk to someone “cracking a tasteless, X-rated joke inside a church.”

Whitlock said that Williams “deserved to be criticized and she should’ve immediately apologized” for the surprise appearance — which, notably, was one of many digs at her ex Drake in Lamar’s performance.

Ohanian, in his clapback, wrote, “Some of y’all have no idea how criticized Serena was for this same dance at Wimbledon 13 years ago and it shows.”

The tennis star, notably, was slammed for seemingly doing the dance, made famous by the Los Angeles Crips in the 1970s, after beating Maria Sharapova.
