Kobe Bryant posted about his dad bod on Instagram, then deleted it

Kobe thinks he’s #mambathick.

Kobe Bryant had a very weird few minutes on Instagram on Tuesday evening. First, he posted a picture, which TMZ had published earlier in the day, of him topless. The picture showed Bryant looking sliiiightly out of shape, and he captioned it:

Objects on camera may appear larger than they do in the mirror haha ok...ok...ok. Gime 30 days #challengeaccepted #mambathick #mambabeast

He deleted that Instagram no more than five minutes later, and posted another completely blank picture. This one was captioned:

Mamba mode #blackout

Was Kobe’s Instagram account hacked? Maybe.

But this could just mean he’s getting into Mamba mode and staying off the internet while he gets back into shape. He’s #mambathick right now, but claims he’ll be back in 30 days.

Everyone please mark Sept. 1 on your calendars.

Thank you, Kobe, for staying strange on the internet and providing us with some lovely #mambabeast content.
