For the past month, The Rock has been slowly turning heel while promoting his tag team match at WrestleMania 40, which will feature him and Roman Reigns taking on Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes.

During SmackDown ‘The Rock’ sang a song inside the ring to rip Rhodes’ tag team partner Seth Rollins and mocked Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant in the process in front of Memphis fans.
Cacklin and dancin’ is all that you do,
no wonder that your wife is more popular than you,
you’re so desperate to make them cheer,

you’re simply an embarrassment son,
just like Ja Morant when he’s waving a gun
“Just like Ja Morant, when he’s waving a gun.”

The Rock instantly got booed by the Memphis crowd for his line about Morant.
