WNBA Star Brittney Griner and her arrest in Russia have caused a lot of controversy in the United States. While a majority of them want Griner back home, there are a few who have supported Russia’s actions. But there can be only one who has used the ongoing saga to get out of jury duty. And that none other than American rapper JID.

Griner was detained on February 17th, 2022 for having vape cartridges that had hashish oil in them. She was subsequently arrested and put on trial on charges of smuggling illegal substances. Griner later admitted she was guilty, but she said that it was an honest mistake and hoped the court showed her mercy. However, the prosecutors were in no mood for any leeway, and the Russian courts agreed. And now, they have sentenced Griner to nine years in prison.

Ever since that, the support for Griner has gone through the roof. Celebrities, athletes, politicians, and fans have called for her release and have pressed the United States government to take action. But rapper JID went in a different direction in his support of Brittney Griner.
