Vanessa Bryant:dont need to shoot in the gym

 

 

“You wasn’t with me shooting in the gym”
Those lyrics became one of the most memorable rap lines of 2012 after Drake jumped on Rick Ross’ Stay Schemin track and referenced Kobe’s pending divorce to Vanessa Bryant. During that time, it had been reported that Kobe was would have to hand over half of his fortune and three mansions to Vanessa as a result of their divorce settlement which left most guys appalled. Drake had somehow given them a new anthem with those lyrics!
Although there was video that surfaced of fans chanting the, “She wasn’t with you shooting in the gym” lyrics to Kobe to show their support, The Bryant Family has never really addressed the song until now. Recently, in response to a few commenters who reminded her of the lyrics, Vanessa Bryant wrote on her Instagram:

I love when immature kids quote a rapper that has never been friends with Kobe and knows nothing about our relationship. Just shows how gullible they are. I don’t need to be in the gym. I’m raising our daughters, signing checks and taking care of everything else that pertains to our home life. [...]
I really wish people would stop THINK and then realize that they are being sucked into someone’s clear intention to monetize and gain attention off of our family’s heartache. This is real life. I hold down our home life so my husband can focus on his career. It’s a partnership.
Since my husband is isn’t friends with Drake, we received a text of an apology forwarded from his manager. It’s done and over with and it’s now time for people to THINK before speaking.

Back in August, Amar’e Stoudemire’s fiancee Alexis Welch made a similar statement on the importance of a woman taking care of home so that her hubby could perform well on the court:

We all want to encourage our men and support them. This is a partnership. We’re going to get everything balanced, and that will be reflected on the court. I’m taking care of the household, making sure the kids are straight, the dog has his food, making sure Amar’e can be a dad at the end of the day, do something that has nothing to do with basketball.

Sadly, marriage is suppose to be a partnership but a lot of people nowadays do not look at it as such.
Drake, meanwhile, has already gone on record and said that the lyrics were never meant to offend Vanessa and he was only speaking from the male perspective:

That line came from a conversation about being this young and making this much money and the fear of losing it all. I just used his potential situation to address my own life. I never intended to offend Vanessa or anyone else.

Do you agree that women should get half of her husband’s earnings during a divorce, or at least half of what he earned while the couple were married?
