Earlier this week, Vanessa spoke out about a lyric in an unreleased Meek Mill collaboration with Lil Baby that she found distasteful.
‘Yeah, and if I ever lack, I’m goin’ out with my chopper, it be another Kobe,’ he rapped during the track.
Mill initially sounded dismissive in social media posts many users interpreted as referring to the controversy.
But after Vanessa called the line ‘extremely insensitive and disrespectful’ in a diplomatic Instagram Stories post, but he later changed his tune.
‘I apologized to her in private earlier today not to the public…Nothing I say on my page directed to a internet viral moment or the family of a grieving woman! If you care about someone grieving change the subject!’ he wrote.
