Vanessa wrote on Instagram, letting Mill know that she found the lyrics disrespectful. The lyrics have been discussed since last week, and have only recently been shared by Vanessa. "Dear @meekmill, I find this line to be extremely insensitive and disrespectful. Period,” Vanessa Bryant wrote in an IG story. "I am not familiar with any of your music, but I believe you can do better that this. If you are a fan, fine, there’s a better way to show your admiration for my husband. This lacks respect and tact."

Fans agreed with Vanessa, already having criticized Mill's words.
