Yes Morant appears to be flashing a GUN on his Instagram Live video while posing topless at a strip club

NBA star Ja Morant has posted a shocking Instagram Live video in which he appears to be flashing a gun while posing topless at a strip club in the early hours of the morning.

Morant, 23, has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons this past week, after a police report revealed he “flashed a gun at a 17-year-old after punching him 12 to 13 times at his Tennessee mansion” last summer ‘.

The Memphis Grizzlies player – who is also a two-time All-Star and one of the best players in the NBA – then followed up that news by throwing a gun fest on the field hours later, and has now sparked controversy yet again.

In the Instagram clip, which was widely shared on Twitter immediately after it appeared on his page, Morant dances topless in a strip club, before appearing to hold a gun to the side of his head.

Topless women can be seen dancing in the background of the video, while Morant laughs with his friends.

The tasteless clip is just the latest in a string of gun-related controversies involving the young NBA star, who earns $12,119,000 a year.

Morant was charged in September for allegedly punching a Tennessee teen in the face during a pick-up game, but the NBA star claims he acted in self-defense.

New details from police interviews obtained by The Washington Post reveal that the 17-year-old Shelby County Sheriff’s Office detectives told the point guard hit him “12 to 13 times,” adding that Morant’s friend hit him an additional “four to five times.” time.’

The teen claimed that when he got up to leave after the fight, Morant entered his home and reappeared with a gun.

Morant reportedly had the gun visible in the waistband of his pants and had his hand on the gun.

The 17-year-old accuser claimed he was playing pick-up basketball with Morant when the two got into an argument, which quickly escalated. He admits to throwing a basketball at Morant and “accidentally” hitting the six-foot guard in the face.

Morant and his friend reportedly responded by beating the 17-year-old “with a closed fist, knocking him to the ground” and leaving him with a “big knot” on the side of his head, according to a police report written by deputies who said they saw the boy’s injuries.

Morant “kept stabbing him to the ground” while another person joined in to punch the teen, who compared the hits to “an MMA fight.”

Morant admitted to hitting the 17-year-old, but told police he did so in self-defense. According to the former Murray State star, the accuser also “made verbal threats” and said he would “come to light” [Morant’s] home.’

Morant said “he and his family were frightened by the statement.”

In a baffling incident just days after the report was released, Morant sparked even more controversy — this time during an NBA game — when he threw a gun party after watching a teammate shoot a three-pointer.
