BlocBoy JB is defending Ja Morant’s actions after the star Memphis Grizzlies level guard was suspended by the NBA for a second time for flashing a gun on digital camera.
On Sunday (May 14), Memphis rapper BlocBoy JB hopped on Instagram to handle Ja’s newest viral incident.
“Guns are not illegal,” BlocBoy wrote on his Instagram. “If he turnt in his car with his gun dats in his name in his yard and somebody recorded him dat ain’t on him. Free Ja.”

Unfortunately, the NBA doesn’t agree with BlocBoy JB’s evaluation of the state of affairs. After video was posted on Morant’s pal Davonte Pack’s Instagram account exhibiting Ja Morant flashing a gun in a automobile on May 13, the NBA suspended the troubled hooper pending an inside investigation on Sunday (May 14).
“We are aware of the social media post involving Ja Morant and are in the process of gathering more information,” NBA spokesperson Mike Bass stated in a press release Sunday, in keeping with ESPN.
Fat Joe referred to as out Ja Morant on Instagram on Sunday, saying he believes Morant is purposefully making an attempt to get kicked out of the NBA.
“That man is trying hard to go play for Turkey or China or Serbia [and] Montenegro. He’s trying hard to get kicked out the NBA,” Fat Joe opined in the video. “Those guys that’s with you, they not your people, Ja. They don’t care. This is a problem we have with our community. Becoming famous. Becoming celebrities. Because the people that’s around you, they like the girls watching. They love the lifestyle. But they not you.”
“They didn’t dribble the basketball in the snow on Christmas trying to figure out the Kobe moves or the Jordan moves,” Fat Joe continued. “They didn’t put in the work like you. And guess what? If you get thrown out of the NBA, these are the same guys that are going to say, ‘Yo, he wasn’t s**t anyway. It is what it is.’ Ja, these are not your people. Anybody telling you, or pointing you in the direction of ignorance is not with you.”
This is Ja Morant’s second suspension in as many months. Back in March, he was suspended for eight video games after video surfaced of him flashing a gun in a membership. He was already below investigation by the league for allegedly brandishing a gun throughout an altercation with a 17-year-old throughout a pick-up basketball sport.
