The couple then discussed the dancers creating the American flag during the performance. Lastly, Sue Bird referred to Williams as the ultimate troll for making an appearance at Lamar's performance.

Serena Williams' appearance on Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl show has made the headlines over the last week. This is primarily because of the beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake which started last year and produced a couple of diss tracks. One of them, Lamar's "Not Like Us," went viral worldwide and won him five Grammys awards this year.

Williams and Drake have a troubled history which involved the popstar subtly writing about her in his songs. Moreover, the former tennis pro has also spent a significant amount of her life in Compton, California, which is also the hometown of Kendrick Lamar.
