How was Ja Morant’s night at the cabaret

According to The New York Post, the club’s insider said Morant arrived at Shotgun Willie’s with a friend and two security guards around 1:30 a.m., just hours after the Grizzlies beat the Rockets in Houston, 113- 99.

The Memphis star made his way around the back of the club to enter the VIP lounge, where he invested at least $900 to reserve the space for three hours, according to rates on the club’s website.

“He was there for the party, he wanted some girls in the room,” the source said. “The music was very, very gangster,” she noted.

At the club, Morant paid for four dancers and a serving of alcoholic beverages, and helped himself to an assortment of food that included a basket of hickory-smoked wings, two platters of chicken tenders and fries, and a steak, according to the report. informant.

Two days later, Morant recovered. After the Grizzlies’ 113-97 loss in Denver, where he scored 23 points, he returned to Shotgun Willie’s early Saturday, March 4.

Deborah Dunafon, the majority owner of Shotgun Willie’s, confirmed that Morant went to the location on both March 2 and 4. “He’s been exceptionally respectful and sweet and didn’t drink on his second visit,” said Dunafon, 72. “We’ve had players from the Nuggets and Broncos disrespectful and obnoxious,” she said.

The gun, however, “absolutely terrified” the Shotgun girls in the back room, said a dancer who was not in the VIP room but heard complaints from her co-workers.
