Boosie Badazz doesn’t have his facts right when it comes to Kamala Harris’ role in basketball star Brittney Griner’s legal woes — according to one political commentator.
The Baton Rouge rapper called out the Vice President after Griner was handed a nine-year prison sentence in a Russian court on Thursday (August 4) after being found guilty of drug smuggling.
The WNBA champion, who plays in the professional Russian league during the off-season, was arrested in February after authorities discovered vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage at a Moscow airport.
“How the hell this girl get nine years for a weed pen? And the USA ain’t doing nothing about it,” an incensed Boosie said in an Instagram rant following the verdict. “You tell me that! If that was Taylor Swift, there’d be a peace treaty right now. They’d be drafting to go to war. For a weed pen! Nine years!
“What that show for Black women in the United States? And the Vice President, as a Black woman, you supposed to be on the frontline to get that Black woman out of jail! Nine damn years. Y’all fucked up in this world!”
Reecie Colbert, founder of BlackWomenViews Media, responded to Boosie’s video with a tirade of her own on Thursday, labeling the rapper “ignorant” for pointing the finger at Vice President Harris instead of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
“Lil Boosie, I know you like to spell so let me spell some shit out for you: P-U-T-I-N,” she began. “That’s the muthafucking president of Russia who’s holding Brittney Griner, political prisoner and as a wrongful detainee.
“Not V-P-O-T-U-S, Vice President of the muthafucking United States, Kamala Harris. So I don’t know how the fuck, as fucked up as the situation is for Brittney Griner, the person you decided to make the boogeyman is goddamn Kamala Harris, a Black woman. Are you fucking kidding me?!”
Colbert pointed out that Vice President Harris, along with President Biden, has been working toward establishing a prisoner exchange with Russia to secure Griner’s freedom.
“And where the fuck have you been? Because if you were paying attention to her case, you would’ve known that Vice President Kamala Harris and President Biden called up the Griner family and assured them that they were doing everything they can to bring Brittney Griner home,” she said.

Colbert also slammed Boosie for not holding former President Donald Trump to the same standard after he called Griner “spoiled” and criticized her for being “loaded up with drugs in a hostile territory” on The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show earlier this month.
“Where the fuck were you at when Donald Trump was just talking about how her ass deserves to be in jail?” she continued. “Have you said shit about muthafucking Donald Trump? Have you said shit about Vladimir Putin? No. But you choose to go after the Black woman because you’re fucking ignorant.
“Vice President Kamala Harris is not the problem in this situation; Putin is, and all the muthafuckas that sit up here and talk shit about Brittney Griner and want to see her behind bars.
“So if you want to be muthafucking helpful, maybe you should learn about the case and actually bring some attention to it and what we need to be doing, which is going ahead with this muthafucking prisoner swap so we can bring Brittney Griner home.”
Griner’s nine-year prison sentence sparked outrage from across the Hip Hop community, with reactions also coming from 50 Cent, Angie Martinez, Meek Mill, Chuck D, DJ Paul and many more.
“This is wild, smh you don’t ever want to get caught up in the politics,” 50 wrote on Twitter. “They are gonna tell her like 10 years for a vape pin watch.”
Griner’s fate will ultimately be decided by whether the U.S. and Russia are able to negotiate a prisoner exchange — a deal the Kremlin have indicated they’re ready to discuss.
Isn’t there a pro wrestler with the name kamala.
Ask ya moms
Im indian and will never do anything specifically for black people and black women will always eat it up because…symbolism
For real, she ain’t even black, she’s half Indian and she could identify as black when its convenient for her, rest of the time?? Fuck all yall.
So she has to be 100% black to call herself black? Tell that to a white person. You sound ignorant as fuck.
Typical liberal…blame Putin for everything. Blame Putin for the high gas prices when its Biden not allowing the US to drill its own oil. Blame Putin for enforcing his countries laws when its Biden who is not negotiating shit. Yeah, blame Putin for everything. I said it before and ill say it again, if Brittany was straight or white nobody would give 2 shits about her. She is a political pawn for the far left LBGTQ and equity agenda. I love me some Boosie music, but sorry dawg you need to let this one go. She made her choice and didnt do her homework on Russian laws before visiting. Probally too busy licking pussy.
Facts, she had no business being in Russia to begin with…
Actually, I think there’s some American businessman who’s also being held for some bullshit. But he’s a white dude so nobody gives a fuck.
She’s a clown. Kamala literally SCOFFED at reparations but passed them for Asian’s who faced hate crimes. Kamala doesn’t care about Black folks, more than Trump but that’s not impressive LOL.
Kamala isn’t even pro America.
Meanwhile between 30k to 40k Americans are locked up here for non-violent marijuana charges. People like to pick and choose what they fake caring about.
Kamala literally threw thousands in jail for pot while she served as a prosecutor in California…..
I also don’t understand how the US can say anything when marijuana is still listed as a schedule 1 drug, the same as heroin.
As for Brittney let her rot, know the laws of the country before traveling
As if he actually gives any care about black women, or even black people and women in general. Don’t think I forgot about how he ranted about how black people are so violent and that they are the worst race in the world, yet he makes music glorifying and profiting off of it. Not to mention stating that black women are evil and jealous towards black men, women are weak creatures, and the threats that he made towards even his daughter. Not even Boosie brother respects him. Trashy human stay in the garbage bin.
lol. democrats. always shifting the blame and doing absolutely nothing for years
So people like Boosie is better? Or Republicans that like the deny the existence and seriousness of the COVID-19, climate change, or terrible historic incidents such as the Holocausts while supporting the removal of human rights and worker unions? Interesting.
You over generalizing like a mothafucker
Russia is not the States Boosie. You weed smoking potheads and others can learn that outside USA, even in Jamica you get arrested if found with weed and don’t get a slap on the hand. She has plenty of time to reflect on her life now. LOL!!
I don’t think putin put the stuff in her bag lol.
He looks like Flavor Flav and acts like Azealia Banks…
Boosie Not so Bad azz is the most pitiful submental in rap. A dumb man with nothing to say. A stupid man blinded by his own inability to form a cogent thought. A retard.
DamN! L0l
Isn’t Griner the girl that walks off the court so she doesn’t have to listen to the National Anthem before games? Guess what, she doesn’t have to listen to it for 9 years. America is so shitty until you’re sitting in a Russian prison. Don’t cry now.
What does the national anthem have to do with America?
Trump spoke nothing but facts. They just hate cuz he’s white. She’s responsible for knowing laws of counties she’s visiting. She made the decision to bring drugs into an enemy country. She got what she deserved.
Once again, the same pathetic troll who likes to also pull out the color card saying that Trump is hated only cause he’s white and that he’s been nothing but right all this time despite the clear history of lies he has made, but this has been said and done many times already. You people will not learn. Main reason why this is treated as the clown country by every other region.
they hate trump because your force fed BS about him. biden is a pusssy and trump isn’t. taliban took back afganistan 2 weeks are we left. russia is now in ukraine. all in 2 years. crazy.
People need to stop making a martyr out of this moron. Dumbass weed heads getting pinched in foreign countries not knowing the laws. Especially a country that isn’t on good terms with the US. How should they handle it? Send in the Navy Seals? Drone strikes? They’re not starting WW3 over one person, whether it’s Taylor Swift or this idiot.
Trump would’ve got her released by now, just saying.
Nah shes a liberal twat, lets see her liberal politicians do something to free her if they so good
There’s an American who has been locked up in Russia since 2018, but yeah…..sure. Trump would have gotten her out…..
Tell that to Cari Champion and Angela Rye!!!
Damn she’s hot though! Oh, and boozie made an ass of himself for 50th time this year? #ShutThaFvckUpIdoit
Hot? You need to go to Specsavers
@ Ghdildo / you gay dog?
Kamala is a crap VP. Just terrible. Griner does not deserve special treatment. Russia as held someone since 2018 and not a peep. Somehow a basketball player is more important. She did the crime. She’s been going to Russia for 7 years. I’m sure she was not ignorant of the law. Russia don’t play like the US.
Boosie uneducated… Why comment?
Here is what is ignorant:
1) Griner did in fact knowingly break the law of Russia
2) Her sentence was not because she was black, female or lesbian. Marc Fogel, a 60 year old white man got 14 years hard labor sentence recently. He will not survive it as he is not a young elite athlete, but an educator who uses medical marijuana to treat the pain from multiple back surgeries which have left him almost immobile. Where was Biden? Harris? Boosie? Lebron? Amy Shumer? Colbert? The “Hip Hop” community? Where where they for Whelan, in fact wrongfully detained? What about for Sarah Krivanek, a white American woman imprisoned in the same correctional colony as Griner for WRONGFUL (unlike Griner) charges of domestic abuse. Her ‘victim’ in fact testified in court that he was at fault, attacked her and she was defending herself. Don’t know them huh? Griner is not in prison because she is female, black, lesbian or ignored by the US for those reasons. She broke an actual law in another country and sentenced according to their guidelines. Trading her for an arms dealer puts every American who travels to unfriendly countries at great risk. Here’s a question; how come Marc Fogel and his family haven’t been able to speak to Biden but Griner has? Come on with it already.
