Kanye West has been left shaken to the core by Kobe Bryant’s death. The All of the Lights hitmakers, who is one of the most successful hip-hop stars in the world, has claimed that the death of the LA Lakers legend and Oscar-winner has now changed his game plan and the way he ‘looks at life’.

The NBA star died in January along with eight others including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna in a shock helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.
