The Hip Hop world is reeling after the shocking death of Kobe Bryant yesterday.

There's no bigger sports fan among rappers than Lil Wayne. 

Even though he hails from New Orleans, Weezy (a notorious bandwagoner) tended to be a Lakers fan, so Kobe's death obviously hit him hard.

Wayne used Instagram to pay tribute to the fallen legend.
