Serena Williams’ husband breaks silence after she danced to diss track about her ex Drake…..See More

The Reddit co-founder has never been shy about standing up for his wife

Serena Williams knows how to make an entrance, but at the Super Bowl 2025 halftime show, she made headlines for a whole different reason—dancing on stage to “Not Like Us”, Kendrick Lamar’s explosive diss track aimed squarely at her ex-boyfriend, Drake.

And while the internet was in a frenzy over the moment, it didn’t take long for her husband, Alexis Ohanian, to step in with his own take on the viral performance.

The 41-year-old Reddit co-founder, who has never been shy about standing up for his wife, took to X (formerly Twitter) after the show to celebrate her time in the spotlight.

Pretty fantastic halftime show,” he wrote, alongside a photo from his VIP box, proving that he was Serena’s number one fan as always.

But Alexis wasn’t just there to admire her performance—he also had something to say about the backlash that followed.

Serena, 42, took center stage during Kendrick’s fiery set, commanding attention in a show-stopping moment that had the Super Bowl crowd on their feet.

But the real drama unfolded online when fans realized she was dancing to a song packed with scathing lyrics about her former flame, Drake.

Drake, 37, who dated Serena on and off between 2011 and 2015, was thousands of miles away, performing in Melbourne, Australia.

Just hours before the Super Bowl, he launched into a cryptic rant about his exes during a concert, making the timing of Serena’s moment all the more intriguing.

Following her performance, Serena herself took to X, writing: “Let’s go Super Bowl halftime. I died a little!” Her fans were quick to flood the comments with praise, but Alexis wasn’t just cheering her on—he was ready to defend her against critics as well.

Serena’s dance moves reignited an old controversy dating back to 2012, when she performed a Crip Walk after winning Olympic gold against Maria Sharapova.

At the time, the dance sparked backlash from conservative commentators, who accused her of bringing a street dance associated with West Coast hip-hop culture into a sport known for its tradition and etiquette.
