Lakers Video: Lil Wayne Pays Tribute To Kobe Bryant At BET Awards

It has been over five months since Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant tragically passed away alongside his daughter Gianna Bryant and seven others.

Since then, countless tributes have been made to honor Bryant, from sports greats like Shaquille O’Neal all the way to rap greats like Lil Wayne. Recently, tributes to Bryant have ramped up amid a number of award shows taking place virtually during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The ESPYs, which aired earlier this month, saw Snoop Dogg and Pau Gasol each share their thoughts on the late legend.

On Sunday night at the virtual BET Awards, Lil Wayne paid his respects by performing his hit song “Kobe Bryant” but with new verses specifically dedicated to the five-time champion’s family.
