近日，知名说唱歌手米克·米尔（Meek Mill）和Lil Baby合作的歌曲在网上泄露，歌词中提及科比的直升机事故：“如果我缺少（爱），我会坐着直升机出去，成为另一个科比。”（Yeah, and if I ever lack, I'm goin' out with my chopper, it be another Kobe.）

今天，科比遗孀瓦妮莎（Vanessa Bryant）在个人社交媒体发文，对这一不尊重行为进行批评：“亲爱的米克·米尔，我觉得这句关于科比的歌词极其冷漠和不尊重，我对你的音乐并不熟悉，但我相信你能做得更好。如果你是科比的粉丝，那一定会有更好的方式来表达你对我丈夫的喜爱。但现在这样缺乏尊重，很没分寸。”

Vanessa Bryant slams Meek Mill’s ‘disrespectful’ Kobe Bryant helicopter lyric: ‘You can do better’

METRO

Vanessa Bryant has branded Meek Mill ‘extremely disrespectful’ over his insensitive lyric about her late husband Kobe Bryant’s helicopter crash.

Earlier this month, a snippet of Meek’s song with Lil Baby leaked on social media and featured him making reference to the helicopter crash that killed Kobe, 41, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven other people in January 2020.

Meek raps: ‘If I ever lack I’m goin’ out with my chopper, it be another Kobe.’

Vanessa, 38, has now addressed the controversial line and held Meek, 33, to account.

In an Instagram story, the mother-of-three wrote: ‘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.’

She added: ‘This lacks respect and tact.’

Meek did not directly respond to Vanessa but coincidentally tweeted just minutes after her post: ‘I’m going back savage in this s**t … f#%k ya feelings!

‘Ion trust people gotta play it raw ……’

However, Meek’s followers hit back at the rapper for again seemingly being insensitive to Vanessa and her family.

‘No way this is how you respond to a widow who said your lyrics were disrespectful to her husband,’ one responded.

Another criticised: ‘Not even 20 minutes after Vanessa Bryant made her post. You need to be apologizing Meek.’

‘I hope this aint ya Response to Kobe bryants [sic] wife if so you wild,’ another reacted.

One other Twitter user weighed in: ‘F**k the feelings of the persons family? Going out sad meek.’

Fans around the world marked the first anniversary of Kobe and Gianna’s death last month. They are survived by Vanessa and her three other daughters Natalia, 18, Bianka, four, and Capri, one.
