Internet shreds Dr Umar for accusing Vanessa Bryant of not using Kobe's wealth for the Black community

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Umar Johnson, American motivational speaker and psychologist popularly known as Dr Umar, has once again sparked discussions on social media with a controversial statement.

This time, he directed his accusations at Vanessa Bryant, asserting that she isn't utilizing the wealth left behind by her late husband, basketball legend Kobe Bryant, for the benefit of the Black community.

Dr Umar previously faced criticism on social media for expressing the view that Eminem, due to not being Black, couldn't be considered the greatest rapper.

Dr Umar recently made an appearance on the 'Joe Budden Podcast,' and a segment of the show was shared on X by the user @TheArtOfDialogues.

The clip quickly gained massive attention, accumulating more than 26 million views after its release.

@TheArtOfDialogues provided context for the clip, stating, "Dr Umar accuses Vanessa Bryant of not using Kobe Bryant's money to do good in the black community."

In the clip, Dr Umar makes allegations against Vanessa, questioning her contributions to the Black community. He went on to assert, "Kobe Bryant died. Vanessa inherited his wealth. And guess what? Is Vanessa Bryant using any of that Black man's money to do any good in the Black community? Absolutely f**king not."

While some of the other hosts attempted to challenge his claims, stating that he lacked evidence, Dr Umar insisted that he was well-informed on the matter.

Expanding on his accusations, Dr Umar added, "Vanessa Bryant just started an initiative with three predominantly White colleges, some sort of a sports initiative, where Kobe's money and Kobe's name didn't choose a single HBCU. With a Black man's money."

One of the hosts then challenged him, suggesting that he was being unfair with his accusations.

On January 26, 2020, a devastating helicopter crash in Calabasas, California claimed the lives of NBA legend Kobe, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, and seven others.
