Nicki Minaj Defends Britney Spears In Fiery Post Calling Kevin Federline A “B*tch”
Nicki Minaj is once again reminding folks that she has zero tolerance for disrespect—especially when it comes to another woman being dragged. The Pink Friday 2 rapper came through swinging for Britney Spears, calling out her ex-husband Kevin Federline over the chaos surrounding his upcoming memoir.
On Thursday (October 16), Nicki hopped on X (formerly Twitter) with a short but lethal message that had the internet gasping:
“KEVIN FEDERLINE BITCH WHEN I CATCH U.”
The post has since disappeared but screenshots live forever. And fans were living for the energy. The tweet came after Nicki reshared Britney’s own emotional reaction to Federline’s memoir, You Thought You Knew, which dives deep into their three-year marriage, 2007 divorce, and years of co-parenting drama.
“The constant gaslighting from [my] ex-husband is extremely hurtful and exhausting,” Britney wrote on X, making it clear she’s over the disrespect.
Kevin Federline’s Explosive Memoir Accuses Britney Spears Of “Erratic Behavior”
Though the memoir doesn’t officially drop until October 21, excerpts already circulating are raising eyebrows. Federline reportedly paints Britney in an unflattering light, claiming she acted “erratically” around their two sons—Jayden James, 19, and Sean Preston, 20—and even used drugs while still nursing.
A particularly disturbing story published by The New York Times alleges that their sons once found Britney standing silently in the doorway, holding a knife and watching them sleep before turning and walking away.
It’s a jarring claim—and one Britney isn’t letting slide. She clapped back on X, calling out the “white lies” and reminding people that motherhood has always been her heart.
Britney Spears Responds: “Those White Lies Go Straight To The Bank”
In her post, Britney laid out her pain—and her pride.
“I have always pleaded and screamed to have a life with my boys,” she wrote, referring to Jayden and Sean. “Relationships with teenage boys are complex. I have felt demoralized by this situation and have always asked and almost begged for them to be a part of my life. Sadly, they have always witnessed the lack of respect shown by their own father for me. They need to take responsibility for themselves.”
She went on to reveal that in the past five years, she’s barely seen them: “I’ve only seen one for 45 minutes, and the other has only come by four times.”
Then came the line that broke hearts—and timelines:
“I have pride too. From now on, I will let them know when I am available. Trust me, those white lies in that book—they’re going straight to the bank, and I’m the only one who genuinely gets hurt here. I will always love them, and if you really know me, you won’t pay attention to the tabloids about my mental health and drinking. I am actually a pretty intelligent woman who has been trying to live a sacred and private life these past five years. I speak on this because I’ve had enough, and any real woman would do the same.”
Nicki Minaj Stands With Britney Spears: “Any Real Woman Would Do The Same”
Nicki’s defense of Britney isn’t random. The two women share something powerful in common—being misunderstood, underestimated, and dragged through the mud by men who profited off their fame.
When Nicki called out Kevin Federline, she wasn’t just defending Britney; she was standing up for every woman who’s ever been gaslit or painted crazy for speaking her truth. Her deleted tweet might’ve been just one sentence, but it was one that spoke volumes.
Fans flooded Nicki’s mentions calling her “real” for publicly supporting Britney when most people stayed silent. One user wrote, “Nicki said what we all wanted to say. Leave Britney alone.” Another added, “It’s always the women protecting women.”
