Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant encountered a barrage of criticism after a recent Denver strip club visit. The incident occurred on March 2nd when Morant visited Shotgun Willie’s in the early morning hours. A video that Morant broadcast on Instagram Live during the visit showed him holding a gun, which has caused concern among fans and the Grizzlies organization.
Morant’s recent visit to the strip club during the team’s trip to Denver was not his first, compounding the controversy. According to sources, Morant also visited Shotgun Willie’s two nights earlier, but that visit was said to have been much more productive and trouble-free.
The New York Post obtained images of Morant’s visit to Shotgun Willie’s on March 2nd and spoke with individuals connected to the establishment. The report suggests that Morant arrived 80 minutes after the team plane landed and got a private room, dancers, and food.
However, the incident that has caused concern was the Instagram Live video showing Morant holding a gun. The Grizzlies organization has condemned the behavior and emphasized its commitment to promoting responsible conduct among its players.
Ja Morant’s Positive Visit to Denver Strip Club Goes Overlooked Amidst Controversy

Despite the controversy surrounding Morant’s visit to Shotgun Willie’s, another side to his experience at the strip club has been overlooked. According to the same report in the New York Post, Morant’s first visit to Shotgun Willie’s was “exemplary” and left a positive impression on the club’s owner.
Morant reportedly paid for a private room, four dancers, and bottle service during that visit. He also ordered a spread of food that included hickory-smoked wings, chicken strips and fries, and a steak. The report suggests that Morant made a big mess during his visit, covering the entire room with cash.
The owner of Shotgun Willie described Morant as “respectful” and “marvelous” during his first visit to the club. This positive feedback starkly contrasts the controversy that arose from the Instagram Live video
The recent event has prompted inquiries regarding professional sports players’ conduct and duty to portray their teams and the entire league favorably. Some have suggested that Morant’s behavior could negatively affect the Grizzlies’ season and their reputation as an organization.
However, others have pointed out that Morant’s buoyant visit to Shotgun Willie demonstrates that not all visits to strip clubs by athletes are problematic. It is possible to have a respectful and enjoyable experience without causing harm or damaging one’s reputation.
The controversy surrounding Morant’s visit to Shotgun Willie’s will likely continue. Still, it serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible behavior and the impact one’s actions can have on others.
