Lil Wayne delivered an incredibly heartwarming remix of his 2009 song “Kobe Bryant” at the 2020 BET Awards to honor the late Los Angeles Lakers legend.
Wayne’s tribute started with Bryant’s words: “I want to be the best, I want to be the best simple and plain” as highlights of the legend flowed across the screen.
Seamlessly integrating new lyrics into a song created over a decade ago, Wayne truly encapsulated how dominant of a force Bryant was on and off the court.
He made a point to not only mourn Bryant but his late daughter Gianna Bryant as well, rapping ‘two fingers for the Mambacita, I’m screaming Black Mamba matters’.
