Serena Williams has set the record straight on suggestions that she was throwing shade at Drake when she Crip Walked during Kendrick Lamar‘s Super Bowl halftime show.
The tennis legend and Compton native, who previously dated Drizzy, spoke to TIME about the headline-grabbing moment.
Detailed her reaction to Kendrick asking her to be a part of his performance, she said: “We’ve been trying to do something together for ages. ‘I’m like, ‘Wait, what, you’re asking me?’ I’m not Taylor Swift, let’s be honest. I would have a better chance to be quarterback at the Super Bowl than dance.'”
Williams was also asked if she regretted the appearance given the controversy it caused, to which she replied: “I don’t know if I regret it or not. I don’t know the answer to that.”
