Instagram Honors Kobe Bryant With a New Update to His Personal Account

The thought that Kobe Bryant is no more still hasn’t sunk in. Even though it has been months since the NBA icon passed away, our minds hurt to know that the Mamba is no more. Kobe died in a tragic helicopter crash with his little daughter beside him and there’s nothing more cruel life could have given him. 

Ever since the demise of Kobe and Gigi, Vanessa Bryant has been extremely strong in handling things. The death of her beloved husband and her little daughter must have left her devastated. But, Kobe left Vanessa with three more daughters to take care of and she is doing an incredible job being a single mother. 

Vanessa has been single-handedly dealing with the affairs that have popped up after Kobe’s death. Her lawsuit against the L.A. county Sherrif’s department over the horrific photos released from the crash site drew huge attention. As a result, the state of California passed a new bill upon looking into the severity of the issue. 

Instagram adds an update to the official account of Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant tragically passed away on January 26, 2020. After almost six months following his demise, the Instagram page of Kobe now has the word “remembering” above his name. 

The change was recently noticed and this is Instagram’s way of honoring the Mamba, who posted a photo with LeBron James on his account just hours before the fatal accident. 

Kobe now has a following of 20.9 million on his Instagram account, who can browse through the 422 photos that he has published on his page. A recent post from Kobe’s account was made to inform fans about the release of ‘The Wizenard Series,’ a basketball-themed book which was created by Kobe in collaboration with Wesley King. 

The NBA world dearly misses the Mamba especially in times like these. Ever since his death, the entire world has been facing a major crisis as a result of the pandemic. Kobe always found a solution to endure the tough times. We can’t help but feel for his family who would have been much stronger if Kobe was by their side. Too early to depart into a new journey for Kobe and Gigi. Rest in Peace, Mamba, and Mambacita.
