On Wednesday, July 23, Cunningham published a TikTok video set to a Lizzo song that features the line, "I woke up to b--ches who was prayin' on my downfall" along with the caption "blessed and highly favored ya heard."

Cunningham also recently revealed she was fined $500 for describing "some refs" as "stupid" and "useless" in another video shared last week.

“I got fined $500 for this TikTok 🤣🤣 idk why this is funny to me… like ok 👍🏼 you got it bud! Cause there’s not more important things to be worried about with our league right now,” she wrote.

Officiating is a huge topic in the WNBA right now, and multiple players and coaches have commented on disputes they have with how games are being called. 

"Everybody's getting better -- except the officials," Fever head coach Stephanie White said in June. "So we got to find a way to remedy it. I mean, you've heard every coach talk about it, so I don't know what the answer is."
