Jaden went on rants on Instagram against the NBA for celebrating Pride Month. One video extended more than an hour. In the comments, Ivey argued with fans using Bible verses and accused several of being sinners for their beliefs and lifestyles. He was driving for one video. “Catholicism is a false religion” responded to a fan who asked if he went to confession.
“They show it to the world,” Ivey said Monday during an Instagram Live session. “They say come join us for Pride Month to celebrate unrighteousness. They proclaim it. They proclaim it on the billboards. They proclaim it in the streets. Unrighteousness. So how it is that one can’t speak righteousness? How are they to say that this man is crazy?”
Throughout the latter two videos, Ivey spoke to the camera while driving his car and rambling through various evangelical talking points.

The Chicago Bulls waived Jaden Ivey for “conduct detrimental to the team” after the guard made anti-LGBT comments in one of several religious rants on Instagram live this week.
ONTD, thoughts?
