Strippers Say Ja Morant Never Apologized For Gun Incident

Ja Morant has been in the news a lot as of late. On May 14, Memphis Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant was indefinitely suspended by the team pending an NBA investigation. It came as a result of, for the second time in 2023, Morant appearing on Instagram Live with a gun. The video, which went viral on social on May 13, appeared to occur while Morant was cruising with longtime friend Davonte Pack. While Morant has apologized, the NBA is yet to announce a punishment for him. A lot of people have spoken out about the incident. They range from defenders such as BlocBoy JB to moderates such as JJ Redick. However, they are also a wide range of detractors, such as Stephen Jackson and Charles Barkley.

However, as mentioned, this was not the first time Morant had gotten in trouble for flashing a gun in public. In March, Morant was suspended for eight games after flashing a gun on Instagram Live while at a strip club in Denver. However, the strippers at the club, have now revealed some shocking details.

Speaking with The New York Post, a number of employees at Shotgun Willie’s where Morant’s first gun-flashing incident claimed that Morant never apologized. Furthermore, they aren’t holding their breath for that to change. “I don’t foresee an apology [anytime] soon,” one of the dancers told the Post, “He’s a boy.”

Additionally, a number of the employees shared their opinions on Morant’s second suspension. “He’s clearly begging for attention and trying to be a baller — he should be banned from all clubs and get his NBA career taken away given our country’s current circumstances on gun violence.” However, not everyone criticized Morant. After the incident initially happened, the club’s owner Deborah Dunafon called Morant “exceptionally respectful, and sweet.” What do you think Morant’s punishment from the NBA will be?
