Vanessa Bryant Addresses Infamous Drake Lyric

Jan 02, 2013 04:52 PM EST

Vanessa Bryant has finally addressed platinum selling rapper Drake's "You wasn't with me shooting in the gym" lyrics on the "Stay Scheming" single that became a popular catch phrase in 2012.

The lyrics were a direct reference to the divorce settlement case of Vanessa and Kobe Bryant.

Drake has commented on the lyric, ensuring that he had no intentions of offending neither Vanessa or Kobe:

"That line came from a conversation about being this young and making this much money and the fear of losing it all. I just used his potential situation to address my own life. I never intended to offend Vanessa or anyone else."

After keeping quiet for a little over six months since the song debut, Vanessa addressed the matter on her instagram page after several people began referencing the lyrics on her profile.

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".

Since Kobe's public cheating incident the couple have tried to keep their private personal life out of public knowledge.

At least they tried but I have a feeling this will only stir up new divorce rumors for the couple in the coming weeks.
