The rapper took to Instagram to criticize King after she brought up Kobe Bryant's sexual assault charge during an interview with former WNBA champion Lisa Leslie.
"I know that if I had only seen the clip that you saw, I'd be extremely angry with me too. I am mortified, I am embarrassed and I am very angry," King said in her video."Unbeknownst to me, my network put up a clip from a very wide-ranging interview, totally taken out of context, and when you see it that way, it's very jarring.
"I reached out to Lisa because I know that she's a longtime friend of Kobe's, to talk about his legacy and their friendship. We had a really wide-ranging interview, talked about many things—his career, his passion, his sense of humor, the way he was mentoring other people, how he was starting his next chapter. It was wide-ranging, and yes we talked about that court case because that court case has also come up," King added in her video.
"I wanted to get Lisa's take on it as a friend who knew him well. What she thought, where that should stand, and I thought it was very powerful when she looked me in the eyes, as a member of the media, to say it's time for the media to leave that alone and to back off. During the course of the interview, I asked follow-up questions because I wanted to make sure her position and perspective was very clear," King continued.
In the second part of her video, King said she talked to Leslie on Wednesday night and"believed Lisa was OK with the interview." King went on to address the network's decision to put out that specific portion of the interview.
