Meek Mill Apologises To Vanessa Bryant For Kobe Bryant Lyric

The widow called his line "extremely insensitive and disrespectful..."

*Meek Mill* has apologised to *Vanessa Bryant* for his recent lyric about *Kobe Bryant*.

The sporting icon died last year in a helicopter crash, an incident that also claimed the life of his young daughter, some of her friends, and the pilot.

*An inquest into the incident* closed earlier this year, sparking another wave of mourning for the American basketball legend.

Meek Mill waded into this *with a leaked new song*, in which he raps: "Yeah, and if I ever lack, I'm goin' out with my chopper, it be another Kobe..."

The internet furore reached Vanessa Bryant, with the widow labelling the song "extremely insensitive and disrespectful..."

In a message to Meek Mill, she wrote: "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."

Meek Mill has seemingly apologised to Victoria Bryant in private, before addressing social: "If you care about someone grieving change the subject!"



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!
