Adin Ross, who is a YouTuber and a loyal Andrew Tate follower, has made his feelings known about the Ja Morant case. NBA star Morant was caught flashing a gun while he was in a vehicle with others. Ross saw the video of Morant flashing a gun and started shouting, “Lock him up!”
Ross said, “I’ll tell my real, true take. There’s two takes I have got in this. Two f**king takes!”
The 22-year-old YouTuber called the person holding the camera Morant’s “best friend.” Ross believes that person did Morant a favor.
He said, “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.
Ross claimed that Morant is a superstar and a role model for many and he should not have done what the did.
“Look, bro. Ja Morant, you deserve to… you know what I’m saying, bro? You’re a f**king superstar, bro! How do we look up to you? You know, it’s your second time doing it. And I don’t want to f**king talk about this s**t because it’s not my place to talk. But… f**k that! Lock this f**king thug! Lock him up! Put him in f**king prison! Solitary confinement! Put him in there! Put him in f**king jail!”
Later, Ross said, “I’m kidding.” He did not mean any of the things he said. However, this is not the first time Morant was caught flashing a gun in public.

Earlier this March, Morant received an eight-game suspension without pay from the NBA. It was for what the NBA deemed “conduct detrimental to the league.“ This happened because Morant had appeared in another Instagram Live video holding a gun. He was caught flashing a gun at a nightclub located in Glendale, Colorado.
The investigation in the March incident led to the NBA determining that it could not be proven that the weapon flashed by Morant belonged to him. According to Economic Times, “Additionally, the investigation didn’t unveil any evidence of him carrying a gun to the NBA facility or with the team. Meanwhile, Glendale police did not press charges against Morant for the incident.”
Ja Morant has been suspended eight games, per NBA. Morant will be eligible to return on March 20th. In a statement, Adam Silver calls Morant’s conduct “irresponsible, reckless and potentially very dangerous.”

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver issued a statement after the incident calling Morant’s conduct “irresponsible, reckless, and very dangerous.” This was taking into account the significant following the Grizzlies’ star has among young fans.
Earlier in March, Morant was also accused of assaulting a 17-year-old boy. According to a report in The Washington Post, Morant punched the boy during a pickup game at his house. Morant later went inside and came back with a gun in his waistband. The NBA star had said that he had acted in self-defense. This had come just days after a mall security guard accused Morant of threatening him.
