Mike Epps hasn't directly responded to his run-in with the police in Indianapolis, though it seems that he isn't stressing out over it either. The comedian hit Instagram where he poked fun at his detainment with a photo of a man playing basketball inside of a prison facility against another inmate. "Me and j morant this morning," he wrote with several laughing emojis, alluding to Morant's recent controversy surrounding his Instagram Live stream. 




Ja Morant, unfortunately, faces a police investigation following a live stream on Instagram where he appeared to flash a gun during a visit to a Colorado strip club. The Grizzlies confirmed a two-game suspension, though it seems things could get worse for their point guard.
