“Silento said da industry tried to line him im so mad,” one other user wrote, later adding, “Like the higher ups couldn’t stand to watch the masses whip n nae nae or sumn.”
While Silento’s comment has certainly riled up some users, not everyone on Twitter is sharing conspiracy theories around Bryant’s death, as many are simply mourning his loss.
“I read LeBron’s IG post to Kobe. We might see something from LeBron we haven’t seen. The Lakers are about to take off, and they might not say it, but I believe they’re going to dedicate this season to Kobe.” — @ShannonSharpe pic.twitter.com/8srOj0XS5Q

One notable statement came from Bryant’s former Lakers teammate, Shaquille O’Neal, who said, “When I saw Kobe & his daughters, loved them. He saw my kids, loved them.”
“All the stuff that’s documented between us, there was never a dislike. Listen, this is what brothers do. I have a younger brother. We fight all the time. But, guess what? I love him. & I love Kobe Bryant,” he added.
