There’s more fallout coming out from the Ja Morant incident at a Denver strip club
Last week, Morant went viral when he pulled out a gun while at the famous Shotgun Willie’s Strip Club during an Instagram live video.

One week after the incident, the NY Post released photos of Morant from inside the strip club. The Post also spoke with dancers and people who work at the club about the incident.
According to dancers, Morant gave out at least $50k in tips and filled an entire room in one dollar bills.

“The whole room is full of money — it’s literally a pile. You’d need a rake,” according to one club insider who witnessed the eye-popping hardwood scene.
The vaunted 23-year-old point guard, who re-signed with the Grizzlies last year in a 5-year extension deal that could be worth up to $231 million, shelled out at least $50,000 in cash tips in the two-night booty bender, two employees told The Post.
Some dancers were reportedly “absolutely terrified” by Morant pulling out a gun while in the VIP room.
The gun, however, “absolutely terrified” Shotgun girls in the backroom, claimed one dancer who wasn’t in the VIP room but heard complaints from her coworkers.
“He pulled the white boy excuse card: ‘I’m just going through a lot right now, so I’m going to act [like] a fool and put other people’s lives at risk,’” she said.
Glendale Police investigated Morant but declined to press chargers after not finding enough evidence to charge him with a crime.
Morant has not played since the incident as the NBA concludes their own investigation.
