West Coast rap icon The Game connected the fifth anniversary of the death of Kobe Bryant with the rains in the Los Angeles landscape.
The Game suggested to his 18 million Instagram followers that the rain was a gift from the former Los Angeles Lakers superstar as it began pouring down on the day he died in 2020.
The Game says the rain was a gift from Kobe Bryant
“It rained in Los Angeles today on the 5th anniversary of Kobe’s, Gigi’s & all the beautiful souls that passed with them on this day 5 years ago & now all the fires are pretty much fully contained with a little help from Mother Nature,” he wrote.
Bryant and one of his daughters, Gianna “Gigi” Bryant, perished along with seven others on Jan. 26, 2020, when their helicopter crashed in the mountains just outside Los Angeles.
The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Terrell Taylor, continued with his praise of the firefighters who exhibited valor in trying to contain the historic fires in metro Los Angeles that have destroyed hundreds of homes, schools, businesses and churches, including those belonging to A-list Hollywood heavyweights.

“Still, I can’t forget the amount of care, dedication, work & love everyone from near and far poured into what has been the longest 2 1/2 weeks of devastation in my city that I’ve ever witnessed in my adult life,” The Game continued.
“If you prayed, donated, posted, shared stories or just took time out of your day to spread love for us all here in the city during this time… I truly ‘THANK YOU’ from the bottom of my heart.”
The Game promises to help rebuild after billions of dollars were lost
“As the smoke clears, the aftermath of what happened doesn’t & I want everyone affected to know I stand with you 100% in the next phase of rebuilding with the families & areas that lost everything.. especially ALTADENA!!!!”
The Game is helping to round up resources
“Myself, @attorneycrump, @steverifkind, @sharisrhodes & @wrapcitydetailing & @travforthestars amongst others have been on the ground with the people pulling together resources for future solutions to help the many who seen their lives uprooted this month.”
