Lil Wayne Attempted To Mentor Ja Morant But Morant Never Responded To Him

According to Skip Bayless, who has a close relationship with Lil Wayne, the legendary rapper was attempting to connect with Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant.

“Lil Wayne – I said this on a previous podcast, texted me, he said, ‘Hey, can you connect me with Ja? Because I could help him,'” Skip revealed.

“I’ve been there, I’ve done all this, I’ve wound up in prison on Rikers Island. I know what happens. I know where you can go wrong, and I know what’s right.’ I said I’ll try.”

He continued, “I reached out to Ja. Would you sit with Lil Wayne? Would you talk with Lil Wayne? Wayne would fly to him, he’d fly to Memphis in a heartbeat… I got nothing back from Ja. Didn’t expect anything back.”

Morant has been suspended twice for brandishing a firearm on social media. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver indicated they might be seeking to help the young baller instead of kicking him out of the league.

“He has expressed sincere contrition and remorse for his behavior,” Adam revealed.

“Ja has also made it clear to me that he has learned from this incident and that he understands his obligations and responsibility to the Memphis Grizzlies and the broader NBA community extend well beyond his play on the court.”
