In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Markieff went off on a rant about his twin's arrest. He wasn't happy with how Marcus had been treated by the police, especially with the alleged fraud regarding insufficient funds on his check.

"The wording is crazy. Damn for that amount of money they'll embarrass you in the airport with your family. They got y'all really thinking bro did some fraud sh*t. They could have came to the crib for all that. When y'all hear the real story on this shit man. All I can say is Lesson learned. Bro will tell y’all tomorrow. This weird sh*t gave me a headache. Can't stop nothin!" Markieff tweeted.

Speaking on "The Big Podcast" with Shaquille O'Neal, Marcus and Markieff Morris expressed their interest in a boxing match against the Jokic brothers. Markieff has beef with Nikola for a big hit during the 2021-22 NBA season, which put him out for a good chunk of the campaign.

Marcus would get involved on social media, prompting Strahinja and Nemanja Jokic. The twins only want a boxing match since Nemanja has a background in mixed martial arts, with Shaq open to facilitating the bouts.
