Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show performance had one particularly special surprise for his fans and viewers around the world. Lamar, a native of Compton, California, put the punctuation mark on his performance by inviting a fellow native of his hometown: Serena Williams. Williams showed up and started dancing while Lamar was performing his song 'Not Like Us' - a diss track from his beef with Canadian rapper Drake.
