Fat Joe has publicly criticized Tee Morant, the father of Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant, for his alleged poor parenting amidst the player’s recent controversial actions.
Despite Ja being sidelined from the team for four games, Fat Joe shared his thoughts on the situation during an Instagram Live session, attributing some of the responsibility to Tee Morant.
“Ja Morant always got his father there. Instead of his father enjoying the scene and getting drunk at the game, he better school his son,” Joe said, referencing Tee’s regular courtside presence at Ja’s games.”
Following his criticism of Tee Morant, Fat Joe spoke directly to Ja Morant about the importance of managing his entourage and getting his behavior in check to avoid jeopardizing his career.
“Bro, you did not come this far to fuck your shit up. Your family has to really be your family and talk to you. I hope somebody gets him a copy of this because I don’t make money off Ja Morant. I’m just telling you the truth. There’s two ways this could go: you could keep it real, which is the dumbest shit I ever heard in my life, and go broke and get the fuck out the NBA because they’re not going for a NBA player pistol whipping dudes — they not going for that. I don’t care how nice he is. He will be playing in Serbia-Montenegro. And his father, who likes to go like this and the three pointer at every game, he better love the game in Turkey.”
