Lil Wayne paid tribute to the late Kobe Bryant by performing his 2009 song “Kobe Bryant” over the weekend at the BET Awards.

Trae Young loved it:
Bryant explained the backstory of the song in 2019 when he told him the performance motivated him.
“[Wayne] was like, ‘I’ma do a song. Is it OK, can I do a song?'” Bryant said. “I was like, ‘All right cool.’ I just thought he was BS-ing or whatever. Before the Boston Celtics series, he sends me the song and I was like, ‘Oh, you were serious.’ OK, that’s awesome.”
Rest in peace to the legend that is Kobe Bryant.
