This morning (Dec. 8), President Biden announced that WNBA star Brittney Griner has been released from a Russian prison following months of unjust detainment.

“She’s safe, she’s on a plane, she’s on her way home,” Biden said alongside Griner’s wife, Cherelle. “After months of being unjustly detained in Russia, held under untolerable circumstances, Brittney will soon be back in the arms of her loved ones, and she should have been there all along.”

Biden said Griner's release took “painstaking and intense negotiations."

Hip-Hop stars including Questlove celebrated her freedom.

"A Miracle. Brittney Griner is finally coming home. Wow," Quest wrote on IG.

Other artists including Houston's Slim Thug chimed in with their support for Griner's release. Previously, rap stars like Chuck D expressed their thoughts about Griner's nine-year Russian prison sentence, which was announced back in August.

"I underlined in my 1st LP Yo Bum Rush The Show with ‘The Governments Responsible ‘ it meant plural & every single one of them. Govts are the cancers of civilization," Chuck wrote. "The Brittany Griner situation exemplary of this devilry. Dangling her life. 116 countries for me I can’t truss em."

CNN reports Griner's swap involves convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout but didn't include another American Paul Whelan, who the State Department has declared was also wrongfully detained. “This was not a choice of which American to bring home,” Biden said. “Sadly, for totally illegitimate reasons, Russia is treating Paul’s case differently than Brittney’s. And while we have not yet succeeded in securing Paul’s release, we are not giving up. We will never give up.”
