Members of R&B singer Macy Gray's band claimed that NBC's "Today" asked them to turn their "FREE BRITNEY GRINER" T-shirts inside out for their Thursday performance.

The band had intended on making a political statement in support of Griner, the Olympic gold medalist and WNBA star who has been detained in Russia since February after being accused by Russian authorities of smuggling drugs into Moscow airport.
Griner allegedly traveled with vape cartridges containing cannabis oil. On Thursday, Griner pled guilty to having the substances while traveling, though she claimed she "didn’t want to break the law."
