Meek Mill Kobe Bryant Lyric: Why Fans Are Angry With The Rapper

Meek Mill  responded to the backlash by taking to Twitter. 

In a pair of Tweets, Mills addresses the idea of cancel culture and how people are quick to join the movement and the trend.

“They paying to influence y’all now … its almost like mind control ‘wake up’,” Mills tweeted.

While there were people who felt upset by the lyric, like one fan who tweeted that the lyric is “wack, insensitive, disrespectful, unnecessary,” there were social media users who didn’t think the lyric was offensive at all.

This created a discussion and argument in the thread under his tweets.

“Y’all need to chill. That kobe bar was fire,” one Twitter used tweeted.

The one-year anniversary of Kobe Bryant and Gigi Bryant’s death was just last month.

Vanessa Bryant, Kobe’s wife, recently said she didn’t want any tributes to Kobe and her daughter, Gigi, on the one-year anniversary of their death just a few weeks ago. 

If it is too raw and too emotional for Vanessa, it seems like it is just too insensitive to make a lyric like that now.

Even if Mill’s intentions were pure and the lyric was a tribute, it seems a bit tone-deaf.

With Bryant’s death having been now just over a year ago, many have been recently celebrating his memory and what he meant to the world and culture.

Lebron James took to Instagram to share a tribute to Kobe Bryant and Nipsey Hussle, who were both legends in their own way to the city of Los Angeles and that has now passed away.

His new portrait in his house shows how Bryant still lives on in people’s hearts and that it seems like it will be a while before it starts to become a distant memory. 

Meek Mill’s lyric about Kobe is still questionable.

In a world where cancel culture is so powerful, there are people who say things just to go against the people.

In this case, it seems like Mill may have had good intentions; however, it may be too soon to talk about the late legend that was Kobe Bryant.
