“Bros trynna be gangster”: NBA fans clown as Ja Morant’s cryptic tweet goes viral amid Drake & Kendrick Lamar fallout

Following his 25-game suspension, two-time NBA All-Star Ja Morant has only played nine games this season due to a shoulder tear. Recently, Morant posted a cryptic tweet while quoting producer Metro Boomin on his new collaboration album with rapper Future, titled "We Don't Trust You."

Interestingly, the album features a verse from rapper Kendrick Lamar as he starts beefing with other standout MCs Drake and J.Cole on the song "Like That" to fit into the theme of the record. Grizzlies star Ja Morant wanted to stay in line with this theme as he looked forward to the 2024–25 season.

"Stay on that side," Morant said.

However, several NBA fans quickly responded to the tweet.

"Bro trying to be a gangster every chance he gets."

Ja Morant's message to doubters of the Memphis Grizzlies

Despite being sidelined for a lot of the Memphis Grizzlies' games this season, Ja Morant remains confident that his team will bounce back strong once everyone on the roster is healthy.

"I pretty much been here," Morant said via Memphis Commercial Appeal's Damichael Cole. "I know everything we're capable of, what type of team we have and what kind of noise we can make in this league. Where we're hungry, people doubting us. That's when we're at our best."

Ja Morant has averaged 25.1 points (47.1% shooting, including 27.5% from 3-point range), 8.1 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game this season.

Last season, Morant's team finished as the second seed (51-31 record) in the Western Conference standings but ended up losing in the first round of the NBA Playoffs to the seventh seed LA Lakers.
