2012 was the year of one liners. From “YOLO” to “I’ll turn that camel toe into casserole” (blink blink) crazy standout lyrics caused quite some controversy. Among those popular, mostly humorous, sometimes offensive sayings, was the famous “B*** you wasn’t with me shooting in the gym,” by none other than Drake who chimed in on the very public divorce between NBA star Kobe Bryant and wife Vanessa. Pending the proceedings of the divorce, Vanessa was rumored to possibly walk away with $150 million dollars of Kobe’s hardwood earnings! The divorce never happened and up until now, Vanessa has been silent about the diss. It took a while, but she finally responded via Instagram!

I love when immature kids quote a rapper that has never been friends with Kobe and knows nothing about our relationship. Just shows how gullible they are. I don’t need to be in the gym. I’m raising our daughters, signing checks and taking care of everything else that pertains to our home life. […]

I really wish people would stop THINK and then realize that they are being sucked into someone’s clear intention to monetize and gain attention off of our family’s heartache. This is real life. I hold down our home life so my husband can focus on his career. It’s a partnership.

Since my husband isn’t friends with Drake, we received a text of an apology forwarded from his manager. It’s done and over with and it’s now time for people to THINK before speaking.

Well at the end of the day, no she wasn’t shooting in the gym, but apparently if you sign the checks you don’t need to! Thanks NecoleBitchie.
