Nicki Minaj Defends Britney Spears From 'Coward' Ex: 'Leave Her Alone!'

Nicki Minaj has had enough of Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline, following reports of the two going through some serious feud about Spears' parenting.

Minaj shared her sentiments on the issue via the Queen Radio show on Amp live. She called Federline out for trying to ride off of Spears' fame.

"Do you understand what kind of clown you have to be to be a whole, grown, f**king man, and as soon as you see somebody happy and getting married and moving on and being free and feeling good in their own skin, to do the very thing that you know is going to attempt to break them down," Minaj said.

Federline is the father of Spears' two children. He recently questioned Spears' parenting and claimed that the children did not want to see their mother for posting revealing images on Instagram, reports say.

"Only cowards use the media against a famous person who they once loved, they procreated with, they're being taken care of by, they once were being taken care of by," said the "Super Freaky Girl" rapper.

"Using this person's fame as this constant 'gotcha' moment and you think you're not going to f***king have karma from it? You think it's OK? You think that anybody is going to feel sorry for you?"

From One Mother To Another

The "Super Bass" rapper is also a mother. Minaj had her son in 2020, and defended Spears by saying how much the latter loves her children.

"She loves her kids more than life itself. How dare you encourage this woman's children to be a part of your nonsense?" Minaj continued. "They're kids-they don't know how detrimental this is, but you know. Leave her the f**k alone."

Bitter much?

Spears met Federline in 2004 and got married after four months of dating. In 2006, Spears served Federline divorce papers and asked to have legal custody of their sons. However, Federline was granted sole legal and physical custody of the children. 

The parenting issue worsened when Federline told The Daily Mail that the children refused to attend Spears and Sam Asghari's wedding. 

"The boys have decided they are not seeing her right now," Federline said. "t's been a few months since they've seen her. They made the decision not to go to her wedding." 

Spears responded to these allegations via Instagram. "It saddens me to hear that my ex-husband has decided to discuss the relationship between me and my children."

"It concerns me the fact that the reason is based on my Instagram. it was long before Instagram," she added. "I gave them everything. Only one word: hurtful."

In addition to Spears firing back, Asghari also defended the "Baby One More Time" singer, "The boys are very smart and will be 18 soon to make their own decisions and may eventually realize the 'tough' part was having a father who hasn't worked much in over 15 years as a role model."
