Ja Morant was jamming to NBA YoungBoy's music in his recent viral video flashing a gun on Instagram Live. It was also revealed that Morant was listening to NBA YoungBoy before the incident happened.
RaphouseTV on Twitter recently released a video of Morant dancing atop a vehicle dancing to Big Truck by NBA YoungBoy. The gun brandishing video allegedly happened shortly afterwards, with Morant and his friends listening to 1.5 by the same artist.
Rap-Up also reported that Morant's viral video happened just a day after NBA YoungBoy had released his latest album, Richest Opp. It's no secret that the Memphis Grizzlies guard is a huge fan of the popular rapper, but it might be time for him to keep it down if he gets a lengthy suspension from the NBA.

Fans on social media began trolling Ja Morant and NBA YoungBoy. Some are even blaming the musical artist for what's happening with Morant. However, it's all about making the wrong decisions for Morant, who has been involved in multiple gun incidents over the past year.
Here are some of the reactions to Morant and NBA YoungBoy on Twitter:
Kwame Brown calls Ja Morant NBA dumb boy
Kwame Brown is one of many current and former NBA personalities who have been critical of Ja Morant following another viral gun incident.
Brown went on to compare Morant to rapper NBA YoungBoy but called the Memphis Grizzlies superstar 'NBA dumb boy'.
"Ja Morant, you like to play with guns, huh?" Brown said. "You like to play with guns, huh boy? You like to play with guns. Instead of you just being at your house buying all the guns you want, playing with all the guns you want off camera? You want to get in trouble for having a gun at a club, give a bullsh*t apology and show a gun on Instagram Live.
"I've heard of NBA YoungBoy but you NBA dumb boy. You gotta be the dumbest motherf***er in the league." (h/t Basket News)
Brown also told Morant to surround himself with better friends. He explained that real friends won't let him do anything bad or stupid that could affect himself. For most, if not all of Morant's issues over the past year, his friend Davonte Pack has been involved.
"You're allowing yourself to the level of your motherf***ing friends, and they're not your friends," Brown said. "Your friends should've looked at you with your motherf***ing gun in your hand, slapped that motherf***er out your hand, and fought you on camera.
"You know why? At least the white folks that paying you could say, 'Well, at least he got somebody around that cares about him.' That n***a should've been whooping your ass with that gun on camera so no white folks can void your goddamn contract."
