Adin Ross gives his "true take" on the Ja Morant debacle

Adin Ross was reacting to submissions on his Discord server earlier today when he came across the viral Instagram livestream in which Ja Morant flaunted a weapon. When the Florida native saw this, he said:

"Okay, I'm going to be honest, bro. Y'all want to know my take on this s**t? I'll tell my real, true take. There's two takes I have got in this. Two f**king takes!"

According to the 22-year-old personality, the person who panned away the camera after Ja Morant revealed the gun was a "good friend":

"Take number one. First of all, this is a good friend right here. This is a good friend! He hid the camera as soon as he popped the gun. You're a good f**king friend. This guy is a real friend, I swear to god. He's a real friend."

After seeing what his audience had to say about the situation, he called them out, claiming that they had "accountability issues":

"'No lethal.' No! No, no, no, no. Y'all have accountability issues. Stop being f**king weird. He hid it as soon as Ja popped up the gun. Listen! It doesn't matter! Ja should not be holding a f**king gun! He's worth tens of millions of dollars, bro!"
