<p>Now y&#8217;all know <strong>Michael Blackson</strong> is always ready with a joke, but did he go too far with this one? As we previously reported, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/update-russian-officials-confirm-discussion-to-swap-brittney-griner-is-underway/">Brittney Griner</a> was sentenced to nine years in prison after being found guilty of attempted drug smuggling charges in Russia, and Blackson joked about having a lil&#8217; something waiting for her upon being released.</p>
<p>In a tweet, Michael Blackson explicitly stated that he wants to get busy with Brittney once she comes home, and some folks weren&#8217;t feeling the joke. Some criticized Blackson for his bad timing, and others called him disrespectful for not considering Griner&#8217;s sexual orientation and marriage.</p>
<blockquote><p>When Brittney Griner get out I want to be the first one to give her some deek.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>After experiencing some backlash, Blackson took to Twitter to explain that he and Griner are good friends and that she &#8220;has a great sense of humor&#8221; despite what the public may think. He shared a screenshot of some of their old Instagram messages captioned:</p>
<blockquote><p>BG is my homie and she has a great sense of humor, met her 5 yrs ago and we&#8217;ve been cool since. I know she&#8217;s getting out soon that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m joking so ya need to stfu Modasuckas.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The seemingly inappropriate joke was not the first that Blackson made after Brittney&#8217;s prison sentence was announced. He also made light of Russia&#8217;s proposition to trade her for a notorious arms dealer.</p>

<p>Brittney&#8217;s prison sentence sparked outrage across social media and even provoked President Biden to demand that she be released.</p>
