*Fat Joe has called out Tee Morant, father of NBA player Ja Morant, for getting drunk at games instead of prioritizing his family matters. 

The rapper’s criticism comes after the Memphis Grizzlies announced Sunday that Morant would “be away from the team for at least the next two games,” after he posted a video that showed the 23-year-old briefly flashing what appears to be a gun. 

Morant later apologized and said he would “take some time away to get help and work on learning better methods of dealing with stress and my overall well-being.”

“I take full responsibility for my actions last night,” Morant said in a statement. “I’m sorry to my family, teammates, coaches, fans, partners, the city of Memphis and the entire Grizzlies organization for letting you down.”

Meanwhile, Fat Joe says Tee Morant needs to stop relishing in his newfound fame and instead “school his son” before he loses his career.

“Ja Morant always got his father there,” Fat Joe said, Vlad TV reports. “Instead of enjoying the scene and getting drunk at the games, he better school his son before the kid loses his career [and]loses all the greatness he gotta bring. You gotta understand, as a fan, I’m selfish, I don’t want nothing to happen to Ja Morant because he got so many Christmases, so many birthdays, so many times to light them up on TV. He is must see TV. I do not want this kid to get in trouble. They said he’s still young, that means nothing…You cannot be out there punching people with a gun…Somebody tell this future billionaire to sit his a*s down!”

The hip-hop star added, “You did not come this far to f*ck this sh*t up. Your family has to really be your family and talk to you, and I hope that somebody gets him a copy of this, ’cause I don’t make money off Ja Morant, I’m just telling you the truth…”
