“It’s like arguing with myself. My little negotiator. Auntie @ciara and Uncle @dangerusswilson thank you or the RR for BB – ‘I guess’ you’ll be taking over driving lessons. BB mastered it though. #Thatsmirk #MamaMentality #KobeBryantDay #Age3 #DaddysTwin,” Bryant captioned the post.
Ciara also took to Instagram to share a picture of herself, along with Vanessa and her daughters, Bianka, 3, and Capri, 1. She captioned the image with a touching message of support for the family.
“Seeing you and the girls smile makes my heart smile,” Ciara wrote. “You’re the toughest mama I know. Seeing you put one foot forward each day is admirable. It ain’t easy, but if I know one thing, Mamba Queen’s capable of it all.”

Kobe and his daughter Gianna Bryant were killed along with the seven others in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26 in Los Angeles. As theGRIO previously reported, seven months following their untimely death, officials in Orange County decided to honor his legacy with a day in his name. The community’s Board of Supervisors voted to officially make August 24th Kobe Bryant Day.
The California resolution, published on Aug. 11, reportedly passed without hesitation.
The resolution states, “During his career, Kobe Bryant’s numbers on his jerseys were 8 and 24, therefore a fitting day to celebrate his legacy would be August 24.”
“Kobe Day” falls one day after his birthday. Bryant was born on August 23, 1978.
