The incredible life of Kobe Bryant, the 41-year-old basketball legend who died in a helicopter crash on Sunday
In 2014, Bryant spent $5.8 million to purchase this building in Newport Beach to house the offices of Kobe Inc.Kobe Inc. also partnered with Alibaba in 2015 to produce a line of Kobe-branded merchandise, produce the documentary"Muse," and produce and distribute Kobe-branded products in China.Shortly after his NBA retirement in 2016, Bryant also started the production company Kobe Studios with the goal of "creating new ways to tell stories around sports.
But not all of Bryant's entertainment ventures were as successful. Bryant once went all-in on a rap career, even enlisting heavyweight hip-hop video director Hype Williams to direct the video for his first single, "K.O.B.E." The song was not well-received and the video was never released.One good thing came out of that song: It was during the video shoot that he met his wife, Vanessa.
In a stunning apology, Bryant said:"I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter.
