It’s not a good week to be Sha’Carri Richardson.

The famous sprinter, who has seemingly become a global sensation overnight for her history-making runs, was expected to be a shining star at the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.  Her popularity, characterized in part by her athleticism as well as flamboyant personal style (i.e. hair & nails), has even drawn comparisons to the legendary Florence Joyner (FloJo).

However, after testing positive for marijuana use during a recent routine drug screening, Richardson was suspended from the U.S. Olympic team and barred from running her signature race in Tokyo.

The news marks only the beginning of a controversial period for Richardson.

With GRAMMY and MTV VMA trophies lining her mantel alongside the resume of hits that won those awards, Mya has little reason to be modest – a flex she serves with no hesitation via her latest single, ‘Worth It.’

Over a Lamar “MyGuyMars” Edwards-produced beat, the R&B veteran shows off her Rap skills by unveiling a set of braggadocious bars.

“…your sister and cousin / Be tryin’a understand / How I keep lookin younger and younger / It’s the genes and all this foreign fruit / I keeps in my stomach / Not to mention I’d rather prefer / To stay out the public / Cuz I’m on it, best believe I own it publishing and masters,” she spits.

Elsewhere on the candid track, the 41-year-old even addresses murmurs about why she chooses to ‘protect her peace’ by living the single life.

“Why you ain’t married wit’ babies / Your time is almost up / But that ain’t never been my vision / Watchin’ women in my family struggle / Shitted on, broken, abandoned left to crumble / So I’m hesitant when it comes to men.”

At the top of the year, the blogger/DJ-turned-Web personality sent the rapper’s fans – affectionately called #Hotties – into a frenzy when he said the GRAMMY winner wasn’t ‘100th of the talent’ of her ‘Hot Girl Summer’ co-star Nicki Minaj (as we reported here).
