Ja Rule Says Hip Hop’s Influencing Ja Morant’s Poor Decisions, ‘That Ain’t The Way’

Patrick Beverley‘s proper — no less than, that is what Ja Rule is saying, telling TMZ Sports he believes Ja Morant is completely being poorly influenced by hip hop.

The Chicago Bulls guard made waves earlier this week by sayin’ he believed rap and the tradition surrounding it are contributing to Morant’s latest missteps … and once we acquired Ja Rule out at LAX this week, he could not have agreed extra.

He mentioned rising up he was influenced to smoke weed by Redman‘s “How To Roll A Blunt” — and pressured to drink booze by Snoop Dogg‘s “Gin and Juice” … and he made it clear, he thinks Morant is being equally impacted by immediately’s tunes.

But, the “Holla Holla” rapper instructed us he thinks Morant must stop all of that ASAP … telling us, “that ain’t the way.”

“Go play ball, man,” he mentioned. “The streets ain’t about nothing, man. Go grind on ’em. Keep balling. That’s it, man.”

Morant has been investigated by police no less than thrice prior to now calendar 12 months — most just lately when he was seen on video flashing a gun at a strip membership earlier this month.

Each time, Morant has dodged fees … although he admitted in a sit-down interview with Jalen Rose this week he wants to begin making higher decisions.

“In the future,” he instructed Rose, “I will show everybody who Ja really is, what I’m about and change this narrative.”
