New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray is reportedly dealing with internal tension regarding his personal life, centering on reports of disagreements with Jania Meshell, the mother of his child.
Reports circulating on social media and gossip blogs suggest the point guard has expressed frustration over Meshell’s lifestyle choices and time spent away from home, specifically referencing public appearances at clubs and social events. Meshell, a social media personality who also shares a child with rapper NBA YoungBoy, has been the subject of speculation concerning her and Murray’s co-parenting dynamic.

Both Murray and Meshell have criticized on social media, increasing off-court scrutiny on Murray, who was recently acquired by the Pelicans.
The reports characterize the alleged tensions as a dispute over domestic priorities and Meshell’s social schedule, claiming Murray is seeking a more home-focused environment. The Pelicans organization has not commented on the unconfirmed personal matter, adhering to a policy of respecting players’ privacy regarding family disputes.
This social media chatter comes as Murray attempts to integrate into a new city and a Pelicans lineup focused on making a playoff push in the Western Conference. Public distractions, regardless of their truthfulness, often draw the attention of team officials keen on maintaining a focused locker room during the competitive NBA season.
Murray has a history of keeping his personal life largely private, making the public nature of these rumors an unusual hurdle for the star guard as the season progresses.
