Latin artist Bad Bunny released a two-minute track titled “6 Rings” in honor of Kobe Bryant on Monday night, just a day after the NBA legend passed away in a helicopter accident with eight other passengers, including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna “Gigi” Bryant.
The Spanish track released on SoundCloud begins with a clip of the crowd cheering during one
of Bryant’s iconic games in which he scored 81 points against the Toronto Raptors in 2006.
A portion of the Spanish lyrics translate to “You won 6 rings, 5 with the NBA and one in a
a marriage that gave you your daughters/Thinking that one of them left with you, got me outta
control/But nah, it’s so you don’t play ball alone in heaven.”
After the initial news broke Sunday, Bad Bunny went to Instagram to share his fondest
memories about the impact that Bryant had on his life.
“I have never mentioned it because it does not necessarily have to do with music, but this man
has been an inspiration in many ways for me to be what I am today.”
