The basketball star’s former girlfriend was Kadre Dixon, but the couple parted ways due to Morant’s off-court challenges.

 

Ja Morant, an American basketball player representing the Memphis Grizzlies, achieved consensus first-team All-American status in 2019 by leading the Murray State Racers to victory in the OVC Tournament. The Racers then caused an upset by defeating the fifth-seeded Marquette in the opening round of the 2019 NCAA Tournament.

 

Picked as the second overall choice in the 2019 NBA draft by the Memphis Grizzlies, Morant secured the Rookie of the Year award. He led the team to the playoffs in the 2020-21 season and subsequently earned his first All-Star appearance and All-NBA recognition in the 2021-22 season.

 

Morant signed a lucrative five-year, $193 million contract extension before the 2022-23 season, and as of 2023, his net worth is estimated to be around $50 million. This financial standing allowed him to invest $3.05 million in a mansion located in Eads, Tenn.

As Morant steps into the 2023-24 season, both on and off the court, his career is overshadowed by a disappointing turn of events.

Dixon, hailing from Antoine, Ark., is the daughter of DeShannon and Christal and has two siblings, Tyrik and BrayLee. She attended Fisk University in Nashville, Tenn., where she excelled in both basketball and volleyball. Despite aspiring to become a professional athlete, her post-college sports career didn’t materialize.

 

Dixon is not only an entrepreneur but also an author, serving as the founder and CEO of Dixon Brands LLC. Her company strives to connect individuals from diverse backgrounds, aiding them in discovering their life’s purpose. Additionally, Dixon is a children’s book author, having written and published “Kaari & Kree’s Ultimate Coloring & Activity Book.”

Dixon’s relationship with Morant has garnered attention, and she boasts over 58K followers on Instagram, with Morant being just one follower less.
