Ja Morant found himself in trouble again earlier this month when he was again caught on film appearing to hold a gun.

Morant was suspended in March for eight games for a similar incident. This time, he is suspended indefinitely and people in the league expect a lengthy suspension.

But a rapper from Memphis says Morant, the Memphis Grizzlies superstar, is just going through a phase.

Moneybagg Yo, who has been seen sitting courtside with Morant's father, Tee, said he expects Morant to figure himself out.

"I feel like it's just a phase. When I was exactly 23, 24, I was just doing stuff, and people had to tell me — I had to bump my head… I'm so grateful to make it out those situations. Some people don't even shake back from certain situations. …" the rapper, whose real name is DeMario DeWayne White Jr., told Complex Sports.

Moneybagg Yo reflected on his own situation growing up in Memphis, admitting he still may make a questionable decision here or there.

"I still go to Memphis and I'm in the trap, I'm in the hood, I'm pulling up on the block smoking, chilling, and he's like, ‘Bro, what you doing?’ What you got going on?'" he said.

The 31-year-old rapper says he's spoken to the 23-year-old guard and has gotten assurance from him that Morant will "get it right."
