Coco Gauff came out in support of the $140 million-worth artist (as per Celebrity Net Worth), Kendrick Lamar after the rapper stirred controversy with his performance during Super Bowl LIX’s half-time show.

While Gauff lauded Lamar and other performers, many found fault with the rapper’s act.

Taking aim at critics who dismissed Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX half-time performance as ‘boring’, Gauff posted an Instagram story featuring a picture of the rapper during his performance and captioned it:

Earlier, the WTA No. 3 and 2023 US Open champion took to X to lay bare her thoughts on Kendrick Lamar’s controversial Super Bowl LIX performance.

Lamar also roped in the former No. 1 and 23-time singles Major champion, Serena Williams, to show off her dancing skills. Two aspects of Lamar’s act particularly stood out.

One was the subtle lyric change in one of the songs he performed, which led many to believe that he was taking a dig at President Donald Trump, who was also in attendance.

Another was roping in Serena Williams to dance to ‘Not Like Us’, a critically and commercially successful song through which Lamar took shots at rap rival Drake, who briefly dated Williams in the 2010s.
