It didn’t take long for Brittney Griner to hit the basketball court after returning to the United States. According to ESPN, Brittney Griner arrived at Fort Sam in Houston on Tuesday and immediately went to a local basketball court to play. This is the first time Griner has played basketball since she was imprisoned in Russia for over 9 months.
She was seen shooting hoops and working on her game just hours after her return. This comes as a relief to many who were concerned about Griner’s well-being after she was sentenced to two years in a Russian prison following a fight with another woman. “It feels good to be back home and able to play basketball again,” Griner told ESPN. “I’m just happy to be out here.” Brittney Griner said in a recent interview.
But thanks to some quick work by the U.S. State Department, she was released and able to return home. Now that she’s back, it will be interesting to see how Griner fares in the WNBA this season. She’s already one of the league’s best players, but this ordeal will no doubt be a distraction. Either way, it’s good to see her back on the court and doing what she loves.
It’s great to see Brittney Griner doing what she loves and staying positive despite everything she’s been through. We’re wishing her all the best as she continues to recover from this ordeal.

There has been no shortage of tracks released by Jay Critch in 2022, as the rapper has been consistently serving fans with a steady stream of loose favorites, including “Sade,” “Close To Me / Active,” “Anyday,” “Lefty,” “At My Worst” that features Rich The Kid, as well as the most recent, “Up All Night.” On the weekend, Jay Critch added to his growing list with the release of his latest drop, “Cheating (Freestyle).” Over a bass-driven instrumental, he raps about staying real, no matter what:
Last year, “Dreams In A Wraith” rapper Fivio Foreign released Critch Tape, a 23-track LP featuring Lil Tjay, Fivio Foreign, and Drakeo The Ruler. He has consistently maintained his fan base with a number of releases over the past few years, which include “Click It,” “Spin No Blocks,” “Stamped,” “Deadline” that features Prince Swanny, “Gifted,” as well as his collaborative effort with Harry Fraud, “Born With It.”
Jay Critch revealed in a recent interview that he is a man of many words. However, he is one of the most valuable and reliable people to get advice from, regardless of where they come from in their career. “When it comes to Fab, I consider him my big brother,” he explained. “I will follow Fab and French Montana’s example when I become an OG in the game. They both get along well with young artists. They show love to young artists and they’re always there to be a big brother in this. The moment I met Fab, he showed me love, and I always appreciated that. Basically, what I have learned from them has been how to move in and out of s**t.”

It has been a hectic weekend for Monaleo since she returned with her latest offering, the powerful ballad “Miss U Already.” This powerful new track finds the Houston native addressing loss, grief stages, and mental health issues through her lyrics. As part of the release, Monaleo has teamed up with John Tashiro to direct a performance video featuring a choir that she personally hand-picked. There are some soulful lyrics that she delivers on the track, as she pays homage to those who have been in her life but are no longer with her in this world:
“A few months ago, Monaleo opened up my recording studio and invited my followers to record and sing with me, which is how the song “Miss U Already” came to be,” she wrote on her Instagram account about how the song ended up together. “From all the submissions I received, I scoured through them and selected the nine that you see standing behind me. They came to the studio, mastered the song very quickly, and amazed me with their voices.”
A viral single by Monaleo called “We Not Humping” made waves at the beginning of this year. In the months that followed, she contacted Flo Milli to perform the song’s official remix. A number of singles from the “First Draft Pick” rapper have been released throughout 2021, allowing fans to enjoy them including “Girls Outside,” “Suck It Up,” “Lock It Down,” “Draft Pick” with DJ Chose, along with one of her most heard singles, “Beating Down Yo Block.”
