Patrick Beverley Blames Ja Morant's Gun Incident On Rap Music

by Daryl Nelson

Earlier this month, Fat Joe blamed Ja Morant's father, Tee Morant, for his son's behavior. 

The Memphis point guard has been suspended for eight games by the NBA for flashing a gun on video while in a Colorado strip club.

“It’s crazy to say this but Charleston White was absolutely correct. The music we listen to and how that is the new brand. The music say I keep pipe, I do this and I do that. That turns into, ‘I need a pipe.’ A pipe meaning gun," said Beverly on The Pat Bev Podcast With Rone. “I think it’s the music, man. I ain’t bashing the music cus I’m listening to that sh*t, too. I’m not up at 9 a.m. listening to it, though, I’m gameday listening to it.”
