Dopo quasi un mese di teasing, Kanye West ha pubblicato il suo nuovo album “Donda” contenente 26 tracce. Una in particolare ha attirato l’attenzione dei tifosi NBA: stiamo parlando dell”undicesima traccia intitolata “24” in omaggio di Kobe Bryant. Kobe e Kanye erano amici stretti e sono persino apparsi insieme in un iconico annuncio pubblicitario in cui West interrogava in modo esilarante Kobe su analogie stranamente filosofiche.
Il testo della canzone contiene passaggi chiaramente collegabili alla leggenda gialloviola: passaggi come “Ventiquattro ore, ventiquattro candele, ventiquattro ore” e “Non è mai il momento giusto per andare” sono un tributo per il cinque volte campione NBA.
