$50,000 All Over the Strip Club Floor Marked as ?Philanthropy? from Rehab Bound NBA Star; Leaves Fans Fuming: ?Ofcourse He?s the One to Defend Him?

The Ja Morant controversy is reaching new heights every day with more and more updates pouring in. Morant flashed a gun on his Instagram live while he was at a strip club, and subsequently, he has become the epicenter of heated debates in NBA circles. Currently suspended by his team the Memphis Grizzlies, the 23-year-old star seemingly cannot catch a break as the strip club he went to has made things worse for him.

Leaked images from the VIP room of the strip club in Denver have gone viral on the Internet, showing Morant getting a lap-dance from a female worker of the club with the floor covered in money. The Grizzlies star allegedly tipped upwards of $50,000 at the club. These images have breathed new life into the ongoing controversy and invited a new wave of backlash.

Meanwhile, a controversial ex-NBA star has deemed the bizarre antics of Ja Morant as ‘Philanthropy’, causing a meltdown among NBA fans.
