Vanessa Bryant gets an apology from Meek Mill for ‘insensitive’ lyrics about Kobe

Rapper Meek Mill tweeted early Tuesday that he had apologized to Vanessa Bryant hours after she criticized him for reported lyrics about her late husband, Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, that she considered to be “extremely insensitive and disrespectful.”

Last week, the lyrics to what was a yet-to-be-released song by Mill titled “Don’t Worry (RIP Kobe)” were leaked online. They contained the lines, “If I ever lack, I’m goin’ out with my chopper / It be another Kobe” — an apparent reference to the Jan. 26, 2020, helicopter crash that killed Vanessa Bryant’s husband, their daughter Gianna and seven others.
