Destiny’s Child
Even though his own musical creations were not successful, Kobe managed to get an appearance in a music video to Destiny’s Child’s hit song “Bug a Boo,” 3 years after playing for the NBA. His role was to be himself, but a more confusing version when he set gaze on Beyonce.
He Took Brandy To Prom
Although Kobe wasn’t living the normal teenage life, he still attended prom during his senior year at Lower Merion High School in Philly. He was accompanied by actress and singer, Brandy Norwood, while she was starring in the sitcom Moesha. At this time, Kobe just began a partnership with Adidas before beginning the 1996 NBA draft. Brandy spoke publicly about the experience and how thankful she was to go to prom for the only time. They continued their relationship for a while and today are still good friends.
