She was dancing at the super bowl representing her community and where she is from! Nothing to do with Drake or anything else for that matter!
So it wasn’t about Drake at all? How about that? Leave people alone and let them live their lives. For every criticism you have about one person, someone probably have two about you!
Worse crip walk I've ever seen lol
Serena dont want no SDM!
Does that man not know Drake dissed her husband? It goes beyond being petty to an ex, that was her standing up for her man!
Because she’s dancing to a song that doesn’t means she’s upset he’s so annoying 😓
I LIKE HOW WE ARE SO PROUD OF DOING THE "CRIP WALK"…… BTW HOW MANY BLACK FOLKS ARE DEAD BECAUSE OF GANGS BUT LET'S DO THERE DANCE CAUSE WE HAVE NO COMMON SENSE ANYMORE
serena from and her sister venus from compton crips territory crip walking
That fool talking about someone she dated over ten years ago. Steven A get a life or wife if you can find one
It be your own people
No one cares hat Smith got to say either way.
Stephen A needs to worry about his partner, not Serena.
SAS is a closet ….🌈 sellout for years, that's why we all miss Max Kellerman.
Stephen A is envious of strong and talented black women.
Her flexing got him bothered now he trolling. They both don't care they didn't say anything.
Yet, all these women be throwing a fit if their husbands went up there. They would be talking divorce too.
Don't start with the women empowerment, her husband is so supportive crap.
Dancing the crip is never cool (unless you're a forever crip hood rat)
It ain't cool to ever get involved with things regarding your ex.
So what if drake is always dissing her husband…now we know why, her husband doesn't have any balls.
Majority of people didn't even know she dated drake until now. Thanks serena, you just gave that boy more clout.
Instead, you could have continued on with your happy life with two kids and billionaire husband. Unless you're not happy either. I hope her husband has a good prenup
That half-sister must not have mattered much.
Steven doesn't have a wife. Clearly he is no expert.
🤔..SAS,..you sound Insecure, who hurt you,..
Shut up….Serena is a Queen & she handles everything like a Queen!!!!!! She’s brilliant & she knows how to stay relevant. Her husband is probably her biggest supporter & that’s classy all the way ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤nothing but love here for the GOAT…..She’s Queen Serena GREATEST OF ALL TIMES
Serena has travelled world has 2 kids and a husband. Why o why dance on a diss song about an ex boyfriend sung by Kendrick. Is that part of the 'culture'? Stupid and not showing her best to her kids. What her husband thinks .. ????
Good dancing, Serena!
Yuck ! Leave the planet !
