Kick streamer Adin Ross has kicked off his own controversy while speaking on Ja Morant’s recent controversy.
Earlier this week, the Memphis Grizzlies suspended Ja Morant from all team activities after a video showing the star guard holding a gun began circulating on social media Saturday night. This suspension was announced two months after the NBA suspended Morant over a similar incident.
On Saturday, during an Instagram Live session on Morant’s friend Davonte Pack’s account, the All-Star flashed a handgun while driving and singing along with a rap song. The friend tried to save him by putting the phone out of view, but the damage was already done.
Kick streamer Adin Ross discussed the recent controversy involving Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant and he called him a “thug” who should be locked up:
“Lock him up! He’s a thug! Lock him up! Put him in fking prison! Solitary confinement! Put him in there! Put him in fking jail!”

“Okay, I’m going to be honest, bro. Y’all want to know my take on this st? I’ll tell my real, true take. There’s two takes I have got in this. Two fking takes!”
The 22-year-old personality says the guy who panned away from Morant was a “good friend”:
“Take number one. First of all, this is a good friend right here. This is a good friend! He hid the camera as soon as he popped the gun. You’re a good f**king friend. This guy is a real friend, I swear to god. He’s a real friend.”
While responding to fans, he had more to say about accountability.
“‘No lethal.’ No! No, no, no, no. Y’all have accountability issues. Stop being fking weird. He hid it as soon as Ja popped up the gun. Listen! It doesn’t matter! Ja should not be holding a fking gun! He’s worth tens of millions of dollars, bro!”
Morant left the Grizzlies and entered a counseling program in March after a video showed him holding a gun while intoxicated at a Denver club. He talked a good game about being better, but he clearly has not learned a thing.
At the time of the suspension, Morant told ESPN in an interview that he realizes “what I have to lose” and said he would try to be “more responsible, more smarter and staying away from all the bad decisions.”
He clearly needs to lose a lot more.
