He dedicated the song to Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins who he will face off against at WrestleMania 40 in April.

However, during the song, somehow Ja Morant caught a stray from The Rock who decided to diss him with one of the lines in his song.

“You’re simply an embarrassment, son,” he sang, referring to Rhodes.

“Just like Ja Morant when he’s waving a gun.”

“LMAO SHOTS AT JA,” a third fan said.

Morant fell under scrutiny in 202 after repeatedly waving firearms on live social media videos with fans watching.

The first incident took place in early March when the Grizzlies star held a gun beside his head on Instagram live in a strip club near Denver.

He was given an eight game suspension for the offense and was sent to a counseling program which he quickly left.

After serving the suspension, Morant once again flashed a gun on social media in the passenger seat of a parked car, which saw the NBA take action again.

Morant was suspended for 25 games, which held him out of the beginning of the NBA season.

He returned on December 19 with the Grizzlies at 6- and returned to his All Star form, but suffered a season-ending torn labrum which required surgery.

Morant was averaging 25.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per game.
