YSL Morant showing off gun on IG Live this morning

[Mr. Jack Napier]

A few things.

1) the optics look bad, BUT was he Denver at the club or back in Memphis. I ask this because of the different gun laws.

2) those calling for him to be dropped from sponsors or suspended like Kyrie, neither cat did anything to where they were arrested or charged.

3) folks calling him a fake tough guy because of his family background are dumb. Just because you come from the suburbs or a two parent home doesn’t excuse you from being a knuckleheaded individual.

4) Ja definitely needs a big homie to sit him down & give him game. Maybe his father is and Ja isn’t listening.

5) very small chance Ja trolling to get people talking.

Lol I think that says more about you tho?

u can get on Ja all u want but here's a question: when these white football and baseball players show off the gun collection... where are the threads?

If it was just about guns I doubt there would be a thread. It's promoting gang culture, alleged violence with his friends all mixed in this. If it was sbout gun rights, thrn I would agree with

If it's #1, don't you have to have a permit for Colorado?

Isn’t that the definition of a fake tough guy? Grew up a secure environment only to switch up when u get money and fame? You can come from wealth and be tough. That’s completely different than portraying a lifestyle of gang life though.

Are yall sure that's Ja Morant? That looks like someone much younger.

It’s him, most likely old ig live that they put up like it’s new

Old? This from this morning. Or are you talking about another video?

 

[Paper Boi]

I don't know wha'ts going on with Morant, but I fear that at some point someone will test/provoke him in actual real life. At some point if you keep putting a certain image of you out there that image might draw certain types of individuals.

especially in memphis

Aside from the fast cars, honies that shake they ass at bars
You know you wouldn’t be involved
With the underworld dealers
East Coast bodiers, West Coast cap-peelers
Little monkey nikkas turn gorillas
Stopped in the station, filled up on octane and now they not sane
And not playin', that goes without sayin'
Slayin' day in and day out, when money play in, then they play you out
-Jay Z (Dead presidents 1)


Jay z warned these nikkas in 1995 about faking some shyt you’re not

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

I don’t care what you or other posters feel about the shyt. If he wanna show a gun he can show a gun. Clearly it’s not good for his image. And clearly it’s not a crime. I simply don’t think him showing a gun on IG is part of this destructive ass path y’all want him to be on. Clearly dude need to tighten up and mature. However, I’m not no fake outrage ass nikka like half y’all are. The nikka showed a gun and now nikkas got they 5th think piece ready to type up. As usual, y’all nikkas doing too much

Admit you can’t see the Forrest from the fukkin trees.. The fukk is wrong with you nikkas in here? It ain’t just about him showing a fukkin gun.. It’s a clear pattern of shyt that’s going to get him fukked up… all off the court bullshyt… got his crew at games walking on the court ready to fight other players.. His pops being a fukkin shyt head, allegations of him and his crew pointing lasers at other players leaving the arena…. Him beating up a 17 yr old and showing a burner like he about to use it… moms calling him and 9 other worthless nikkas to beat up sneaker store employees to now him on IG showing burnas and false flaggin…

We can’t we expect the best from our youngsters when they make it and have the ability to take care of themselves and their family? Why must nikkas like you act like what he’s doing is ok? fukk out of here with that shyt man

He looks young as hell in the video but who knows, either way I think the nikka is trolling.

Idk, that’s why I asked the question. Cause if he out here with a gun in a state that requires a permit and he doesn't have one for that specific state then I'm quite sure he looking at legal troubles.

Isn’t that the definition of a fake tough guy? Grew up a secure environment only to switch up when u get money and fame? You can come from wealth and be tough. That’s completely different than portraying a lifestyle of gang life though.

Idk if Ja demonstrated this type of behavior when he was younger. Some folks just knuckleheads by nature no matter what background they come from. Ja probably one of those types.

nope my post is accurate regardless. The problem with ja isn't that he showed a gun

I personally don’t think it’s ok but I’m not about to be part of the smear campaign to tear Ja down unless he did something criminal. Big homie needs to grow up for sure though
