And I was like ‘Whatever, you’re crazy.'"

Kobe was actually able to meet his crush, Brandy Norwood, at the Essence Awards.
Amazingly enough, she accepted!
I asked my mom, and she said yes."

Once mom okayed the promposal, that’s when things started to get crazy.

Brandy’s comment read: “Never will I understand.
My condolences to@vanessabryant, and all families who are in pain during this tragic time.
Love#Mamba #Mambacita.”
