Vanessa Bryant is not happy this week after she slammed Shams Charania of The Athletic on Monday for falsely calling Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan the ‘face’ of Kobe Bryant’s Nike line.

She stressed that the only face of the Nike line is her husband.

Charania had tweeted the breaking news of DeRozan signing a new four-year deal with Nike. He added that the new deal ‘keeps him [DeRozan] as the featured face of Kobe Bryant’s iconic line.’

“LOVE that he [DeRozan] is a Kobe supporter but the caption is false,” Vanessa wrote. “It’s misinformation. Only Kobe is the face of his line.

Bryant has been very protective of Kobe’s brand and legacy since his passing, so it shouldn’t be a surprise to see her be so quick to dispel any rumors.
