What Is Jamal Murray’s Instagram Story Incident?
In 2020, when the entire globe was facing a global pandemic and practicing social distancing, Nuggets star Jamal Murray decided to act contrary. The 2023 NBA champion shared a video of himself engaging in oral sex.
Murray instantly deleted the video from his IG story. However, after receiving several reactions on his social media handle, Murray deleted his Instagram. The Nuggets star then took to X (formerly Twitter) and claimed his account was hacked. In a now-deleted tweet, he wrote, “First and foremost, I would like to apologize to my fans. My account has been hacked. I am currently working on the issue. Thanks.”
