When the week started, we highly doubt that Master P could have predicted that he’d be catching flack for taking shots at Kobe Bryant and the Kardashians. But on Wednesday, about 24 hours after Lamar Odomwas found unconscious in a Las Vegas brothel, TMZ Sports caught up with Master P and asked him about the situation. Master P has known Odom for more than a decade now, so he called the situation “sad” and then proceeded to call people like Kobe and the Kardashians “phony” and “fake” for coming to Odom’s side now but not being there for him in recent months.
That apparently struck a nerve with Kobe, who seemed to respond to Master P on Twitter yesterday afternoon. And after seeing what Kobe had to say—as well as others who were critical of him yesterday—Master P took to Facebook this morning to release a statement about why he said what he said when he spoke with TMZ Sports. Specifically, he addressed the “phony” and “fake” comments and admitted that even he had stopped speaking with Odom recently because of the things that were going on in his personal life.
Here is Master P’s full statement:
We know we said this yesterday, but let’s hope that this is now the end of this bizarre series of events. There are more important things than Master P vs. Kobe and the Kardashians going on right now. Continue to #PrayforLO.
