*Why give Kobe a tribute at all since he was a rich man (loaded) who was worth $600 million dollars* ??? Are you serious? He stuck a ball through a metal hoop and made $600 million from selling $200-$1000 pairs of sneakers from most people who don't even have health insurance. While 1.1 billion of the world has inadequate footwear, over 30 million children die a year in the world due to no shoes at all...yet Kobe is admired by millions. Are you nuts.. The fool was even a Catholic...and thousands of children have been raped by priest due to people like Kobe funding that madness. Wake up. Kobe served Satan and money and fame and rings...not God.

This bubblegum-pop and manufactured era of musicians doesn’t deserve Hudson’s talent..unfortunately she was about 10 years too late when she break on the scene..the world was already just moving on from raw talent and the ballad singing era, and R&B was slowly moving away from mainstream, hence why she’s not as bigger as she should be...So underrated!!
