Serena Williams’ husband defends her dance at Super Bowl

Alexis Ohanian is defending his wife Serena Williams, who’s being slammed for stealing the Super Bowl halftime show with her crip walk, a controversial dance deeply rooted in the gangs of Southern California.
By the time Kendrick Lamar took the Super Bowl halftime stage at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, anticipation was at an all-time high. The song’s beat dropped, the stadium erupted, and then – just as the track hit one of its most infectious moments – the camera found Serena Williams, crip walking with the kind of effortless cool that only she could pull off.

The crip walk is a dance created in the 1970s by Robert “Sugar Bear” Jackson, a first-generation crip member – an alliance of street gangs mostly based in the coastal regions of Southern California.
Williams – a 23-time Grand Slam champion and cultural icon – effortlessly vibed to the Grammy-winning song, “Not Like Us” – Lamar’s diss track aimed at Drake.
