Facts About The Legendary Late Kobe Bryant You May Not Have Come Across Before

Kobe Music?

In his time before professional Basketball, Kobe had many questions about his future, as most of us do. Rapping was going to be his overall career goal initially, and in his youth, he produced a debut single called “K.O.B.E”, released by a major label and with the video produced by well iconic director Hype Williams. The song ended up getting a ton of fallout for being cheesy, and Sony canceled any future releases. Basketball was now on the horizon, as well as a love affair with a beautiful young woman called Vanessa Laine, who he met on the set of his music video.

A Different Destiny

Music career on hold, Kobe at least got to live out his fantasy of being in a music video for a successful track by being asked to star in Destiny’s Child hit release, “Bug a Boo”. Getting sultry with none other than Beyonce, then three years into his NBA career, Kobe’s appearance was a hit with executives, fans and critics.
