Vanessa Bryant blasted Philadelphia-based rapper Meek Mill for including a “disrespectful” lyric about the late Kobe Bryant in one of his latest songs.
Last week a snippet of Mill’s song with Lil Baby called “Kobe” leaked on the Internet.
In the song, Meek references Kobe’s helicopter crash from last year that killed the former NBA superstar and his daughter.

Dear Meek Mill, 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.
Update: Meek Mill posted this tweet twenty minutes after Vanessa Bryant blasted him on Instagram.
Update #2: After receiving backlash from the Internet, Meek Mill deleted the tweet and now claims he wasn’t directing his comments at Vanessa Bryant.
I don’t think we on the same signal y’all .. I don’t see what y’all see… I be looking at the net laughing like I did whet 🙃 I say random shit all day on social … it becomes a trend to hate on me every once in a while but I feed off that shit ima beast literally 💎

I apologized to her in private earlier today not to the public…Nothing I say on my page directed to a internet viral moment or the family of a grieving woman! If you care about someone grieving change the subject!
