He said: “This is a game changer for me. He was the basketball version of me, and I was the rap version of him, and that’s facts!
“We got the commercials that prove it. No one else can say this. We came up at the same time, together. And now it’s like, yeah, I might have had a reputation for screaming about things — but I’m not taking any mess for an answer now. We’re about to build a paradigm shift for humanity. We ain’t playing with ’em. We bringing home the trophies.”
At the time of Bryant’s passing, West’s wife, Kim Kardashian West, took to social media to pay her respects to the basketball star and his daughter, as she also sent her love to Bryant’s wife Vanessa and their other three daughters, Natalia, 17, Bianka, 3, and Capri, 9 months.

She wrote: “My heart is so heavy. No one should ever experience what the families involved are going through. This has affected us all so much but I cannot begin to imagine what Vanessa is feeling losing her husband and her baby girl. I cry just thinking about it. I am praying for the Bryant family, the Altobelli family and the families of all who perished in this unthinkable tragedy. Rest In Peace Legend.”
