Nicki Minaj Defends Britney Spears Against Ex-Husband's Memoir Claims

In the past few weeks, a bitter feud has erupted between former spouses Britney Spears and Kevin Federline. The 47-year-old Federline recently released a memoir titled "You Thought You Knew," in which he makes several major claims against his ex-wife Spears, 43. Some of these allegations involve Federline's accusations of inappropriate conduct by Spears around their two sons, Sean Preston (20) and Jayden James (19).

Spears has since spoken out, slamming Federline for his "constant gaslighting" and calling his assertions "extremely hurtful and exhausting." She also said she "pleaded and screamed to have a life" with her and Federline's children. Spears' social media post has gone viral, with fans rushing to her defense.

Now, another music industry veteran, Nicki Minaj, has entered the fray. Minaj, 42, has reposted Spears' message and explicitly called out Federline, defending the pop star. This comes as Minaj herself has been engaged in a heated back-and-forth with fellow rapper Cardi B.

As the feud between Spears and Federline continues, it remains to be seen how it will impact Spears' reported efforts to reconnect with her sons, who currently live with their father in Hawaii. The situation has also raised questions about whether other celebrities might feel compelled to weigh in on the matter.
