Kobe Bryant's childhood friend makes bold claim on late Lakers legend
In a no-holds-barred interview on the Blood on the Razor Wire TV podcast, Sanchez, also known as rapper Tana Da Beast, painted a starkly different picture of Bryant compared to the one often celebrated by fans and the media.
During the conversation, Sanchez said, “The man never did nothing for anybody in his family. He’s got a $500 million empire. His sisters are working regular jobs. You see his mom and dad have to sell memorabilia and sh*t. Even when he was home.”
According to Sanchez, despite Bryant's immense wealth and success, he was neglectful of his family. Sanchez alleged that Bryant showed little to no support for his relatives, with his parents resorting to selling memorabilia to make ends meet, while his sisters held regular jobs.
“His cousin came to me. He said, ‘Kev, I’m going to tell you something about this guy. Dude is a certified piece of sh*t.’ That’s when he started running everything down. He just don’t care about nobody but his wife and his new family. This is when I really found out he was a piece of sh*t,” late Kobe Bryant’s childhood friend added.
