Britney Spears Throws Some Major Shade at Justin Bieber
You don't become the queen of pop without mastering the art of a little shade.
To help promote the release of her highly anticipated new album, Glory, Britney Spears sat down with BBC Radio 1's Scott Mills on Wednesday to discuss a plethora of topics, including whether she'd be open to doing the Super Bowl (yes) and what advice she'd give to her younger self ("Never get married, number one").
But perhaps the most notable (aka shadiest) part of the interview was when Mills asked if it was true Britney would soon be collaborating with Justin Bieber. Rather than politely refute the rumors, however, the pop legend totally shut it down.
"No, there's no truth to that at all," she said. "Did you see what happened to him the other day? Like, didn't he, like, expose himself? Yeah, that was insane. Like, I don't understand what went on there. Was that on the news and stuff?"
Britney went on to explain, unlike Taylor Swift, she also remembers her first time meeting the Biebs a few years back.
"I met him," she said. "It's weird. Like, probably three years ago on Femme Fatale. He walks into my hotel room, and he was like a kid! Literally, he looked like he was 13 years old, but he was 16. And I was like, 'Who is this kid in my hotel? Like, what is going on?' And his mom is like, 'Is there a suntanning bed located in here?!' And I'm like, 'Who are these people?' And my assistant was like, 'This is Justin Bieber and his mother.' And I was like, 'Oh my god! I cannot believe this.'"
"He's very unassuming," she continued."He's a very nice, kind boy. He's obviously way older now. He was extremely kind. So."
Of course, because this is Britney we're talking about, she didn't stop there. When asked why she doesn't just collaborate with whoever she wants since she's Britney Spears, she responded, "You wouldn't believe it but a lot of the people in the entertainment business, if you try to work with them or set up projects, a lot of the time people don't show up. A lot of people are divas in the industry."
"Oh my goodness, I could tell you thousands of stories," she continued. "I'm not really allowed to give out their information or what they did. You know how that goes."
The queen of shade strikes again.
