Drake picked it up and showed the crowd and stated that they had to acknowledge the legend. This took place at the same place where Bryant played, the Crypto.com Arena.

As he speaks to the crowd, he says, “I’ma hold this up ’cause we got to show love to Kobe one time.”

“Ya’ll make some noise for Kobe at this time.”As the world celebrates the birth of Bryant, Los Angeles will be doing it big on Aug. 24 which has been designated “Kobe Bryant Day.” The day will be one of remembrance for the natives of the city to remember the contributions and the talent of the man who died in 2020 in a helicopter crash.

Who is BIG CED?

Before there was social media, you had Big Ced, a gatherer of people. He is more than a promoter or socialite. He hand picked people he liked or felt had some value and invited them to local bars, restaurants, night clubs, sporting events and various other places they probably had never been.
His ability to bring ground breaking thinkers, music artists, athletes, directors, models and moguls together is quite unique. Even in 2016, he continues to collect a eclectic group of movers and shakers.
I imagine he believes in you, before you believe in yourself.
He is a pioneering writer on the internet, before the word blogger and continues to use the platform to make social change.
