This change is likely due to him wanting to pay tribute to Kobe Bryant, who recently passed away in a Helicopter accident. Kobe Bryant used to wear the Number 24 Jersey at the Los Angeles Lakers team at his peak. The number 24 jersey has since been retired in honour of the Black Mamba.

Although Arteezy has never really expressed his love for Basketball previously, this is a touching tribute if it is really meant for Kobe.
