At the 2024 Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Awards, tennis superstar Serena Williams brought some levity to the ongoing Drake vs Kendrick Lamar feud. This pop culture spectacle, which began in March 2024 with diss tracks flying between the two rappers, reached a peak when Lamar's track "Not Like Us" included serious allegations against Drake. The feud has captured public attention, with even major athletes and celebrities weighing in. During her ESPYs monologue, Serena quipped, "If I’ve learned anything this year, it’s that none of us should ever pick a fight with Kendrick Lamar. He will make your hometown not like you.
