"Yeah, and if I ever lack, I’m goin’ out with my chopper, it be another Kobe,” Mill's lyrics say. The song 'Don’t Worry (RIP Kobe)' is unreleased, and will feature Lil Baby. Many on social media viewed the Meek Mill Kobe lyrics as insensitive, something which Vanessa Bryant seemed to agree with.

Vanessa wrote on Instagram, letting Mill know that she found the lyrics disrespectful. The lyrics have been discussed since last week, and have only recently been shared by Vanessa. "Dear @meekmill, I find this line to be extremely insensitive and disrespectful. Period,” Vanessa Bryant wrote in an IG story. "I am not familiar with any of your music, but I believe you can do better that this. If you are a fan, fine, there’s a better way to show your admiration for my husband. This lacks respect and tact."

She ain’t lyin’.

Woah wtf I just saw this.
I’ve listened to one or maybe 2 of @MeekMill s songs and they were okay because Justin Timberlake was in one of them but some of these rappers are either about influencing drugs or violence, now this from meek mill. Umm ok asshole.

However, his comments might not have been about the same situation.
