Willie D wishes Charles Barkley would’ve died instead of Kobe Bryant.
Kobe Bryant passed away tragically in a helicopter crash on Sunday alongside his 13-year-old daughter Gianni and seven other people.
The legendary Geto Boys member took to Instagram to express his sorrow for the passing of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, but things took a drastic and unexpected turn when he posed the question why God didn’t take NBA commentator and former 76er Charles Barkley.
“It’s OK to question God,” he said on Instagram Live. “In the wake of the late, great Kobe Bryant dying tragically, suddenly, young, a lot of people are in pain all over the world. Some people are saying it feels like the loss of a family member.
“I agree. Kobe was a good dude. So much so that some people are questioning God. I got a question for God too. Why Kobe? How come you didn’t take Charles Barkley? No more talk.”
The Houston rap vet’s beef with Barkley stretches back years, especially in 2016 where he ridiculed Barkley in a song called “Coon” in which he accuses the famous athlete of speaking down on his race.

“Blacks been free since Lincoln got wasted,” he raps. “But some of these niggas still on the plantation/Listen up Charles Barkley/You light skin but still calling you a darky/The only reason that they put the mic in your face/Is so you can do they dirt and talk down on your race/TNT made you big put you on a wig/Now you’re acting like you never had trouble with pigs.”
