20 Amazing Kobe Bryant Facts You Should Know

Brandy Was Kobe’s Prom Date

Brandy Norwood went by the stage name Brandy, and was a really popular singer back in the ‘90s and early 2000s. She had hits like “The Boy Is Mine” with Monica, “I Wanna Be Down” and “What About Us.” She was also an actress and noted for her beauty. She was also Kobe’s high school crush. Kobe Bryant was in high school when he met Brandy at the Essence Awards and he asked her to his school prom.

The meeting went well as Kobe told his mom after the awards, “I met such a nice, beautiful, intelligent, sweet person.” Kobe’s prom night was quite a spectacle because of the paparazzi and security guards involved. Brandy had never actually gone to her own school prom, so the night was really special for her too. She had worn a beautiful Moschino gown. She still thinks fondly on that night as she had said she had an “amazing” time.
