The world is mourning the loss of a legend.<\/p>\n

Just hours after the tragic and sudden death of NBA superstar<\/a> Kobe Bryant, who was killed in a helicopter crash along with his 13 year-old daughter, Gianna Bryant<\/strong>, celebrities were honoring the 41-year-old at the 2020 Grammys<\/a> <\/strong>at the Staples Center, the same arena Bryant called home for 20 years as a Los Angeles Laker.<\/p>\n

For H.E.R.<\/strong>, it was impossible not to talk about what “a legend” Bryant was and the way he inspired her work ethic and drive. <\/p>\n

“Oh my gosh, I mean, honestly Kobe inspires me and gives me motivation because of his drive and how hard he worked and I kind of want to channel that same energy,” the 22-year-old R&B star told Ryan Seacrest<\/a><\/strong> on the red carpet. “Like, everybody knows Kobe and how hard he worked and I just really look up to that. He’s a legend.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Up for five awards, including Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Best R&B Song, H.E.R. said she feels “grateful” to have multiple nominations.<\/p>\n

“It’s insane it feels like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be I’m grateful I just love music so much,” she said. “To be recognized for it, it’s just exciting and it’s amazing I’m happy to be here.”<\/p>\n

H.E.R. is set to perform during music’s biggest night, taking the stage for the second year in a row to show off her impressive vocals. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
