Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant

Lil Wayne

“Kobe Bryant” is a song by Lil Wayne about his favorite basketball player, Kobe Bryant:

I’ve been a Lakers fans since Kobe Bryant came into the league straight from high school. Back when he did it, it was so rare. I know Moses Malone had done it back in the days but in my era, Kobe was the one in high school and about to compete on the highest stage. I was drawn in from there. Before that, I’d been a Bulls fan because of Michael Jordan.

The song was one of his best-known songs that had never seen an official release, until 2020 after Kobe Bryant’s death, when Wayne performed a new version of the song at the BET Awards and included this new version on a re-release of No Ceilings.
