Kobe Bryant‘s widow Vanessa Bryant slammed washed up rapper Meek Mill for his “extremely insensitive” lyrics about the late NBA legend.
The rapper’s leaked track “Don’t Worry (RIP Kobe)” sparked heavy backlash on social media because of its lyrics pertaining to the tragic helicopter crash that claimed the lives of Kobe, his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, and 7 others in January 2020.
In the song, Mill says:
“This b**ch I’m f**king’ always tell me that she love me. But she ain’t ever showed me. Yeah, and if I ever lack, I’m goin’ out with my chopper It be another Kobe.”
“Chopper” is street slang for a fully automatic AK-47.
Vanessa, 38, slammed the “extremely insensitive” lyrics and urged the 33-year-old rapper to “do better”.
She wrote on her Instagram Story:
“Dear @meekmill, I find this line to be extremely insensitive and disrespectful. Period. I am not familiar with any of your music, but I believe you can do better than this.
“If you are a fan, fine, there’s a better way to show your admiration for my husband. This lacks respect and tact.”
Meek already hit back at critics, when he tweeted: “Somebody promo a narrative and y’all follow it…. y’all internet antics cannot stop me ….s**t like zombie land or something! Lol. [sic]”
He doubled down with another defiant tweet that appeared to diss Vanessa’s response on Instagram.
Meek tweeted: “I’m going back savage in this s**t … f#%k ya feelings!”
