She initially labelled officials as “inconsistent” even with “simple” fouls.
It came after she was ejected following an on-court brawl against the Connecticut Sun in June.
Cunningham was forced into handing over $500 due to her remarks.
But it did not stop the outspoken 28-year-old from continuing as she insists “fining me $500 is not going to do sh**”.
Cunningham added: “I got fined $500 for this TikTok.
“I don’t know why this is funny to me – like ok you got it bud.
“Because there’s not more important things to be worried about with our league right now.”
And in the latest episode of her Show Me Something podcast, Fever’s guard revealed those words set her back a further $1,500.
Cunningham said: “I even credited them that their job was hard.
“I did say that, and I said that I would not be good at it.
“I’m starting to think that the WNBA is starting to have some beef with my comments.
“But more than 95 per cent of the population who watches the WNBA agrees with me.”
On social media, Cunningham posted a video of her singing along to a Sabrina Carpenter song.
She mouthed the words, “Stupid. Or is it slow? Maybe, it’s useless”, while tagging @somerefs.
And she then replied to a fan’s comment, saying: “The endless WNBA war on the people who are bringing attention to their product while protecting the behavior that turns people off NEVER ceases to amazed me.”
Meanwhile, Cunningham had to jump out the way of a sex toy thrown onto court for the second time.
After initially asking fans to stop lobbing the X-rated objects, she quoted her previous message and said: “This did not age well.”
