Let’s dive into the latest buzz surrounding Britney Spears, the Princess of Pop herself. You might’ve heard about a certain viral video featuring Britney and some rather large knives. Well, let’s clear the air on that one – those knives, as Britney promptly clarified, were very much fake.
So, here’s the deal: Britney Spears, 41, posted a video of herself dancing with two big knives last week. It got the internet buzzing, and not necessarily in a good way. Fans were genuinely concerned about her well-being, and things took a dramatic turn when they called the police to perform a welfare check at her home.
Now, an insider had this to say about the situation: they felt the response to the video was a bit “overblown” and assured everyone that Britney was “fine.” But that wasn’t enough for Britney herself.
On Thursday evening, September 28, Britney decided to set the record straight. In a social media post alongside another video of her dancing with these fake knives, she wrote:
“I know I spooked everyone with the last post, but these are fake knives that my team rented from Hand Prop shop in LA. These are not real knives. No one needs to worry or call the police.”
She then explained that her inspiration for the knife dance came from none other than Shakira. Yep, the same Shakira who pulled off a knife-themed performance at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. Britney was quick to show her admiration, saying:
“I’m trying to imitate one of my favorite performers Shakira … a performance I was inspired by !!! Cheers to us bad girls who aren’t afraid to push boundaries and take risks.”
But the story didn’t end there. Britney, a few days later, took to Instagram again to address the welfare check. She had something to say about it, and she wasn’t holding back:
“Is it a joke in the news again with welfare checks??? Come on America … we cooler than that, right??? The officers came to my home and said they would not leave until they spoke to me as people do 4-minute performances with them. I am getting an apology.”
She went on to express her frustration and disappointment, touching on the bullying she’s faced in her own home:
“I’ve been bullied in my home for so long now… IT’S ENOUGH! Don’t talk about it, come on, let’s DO !!! As my mom does the silent treatment when paps ask questions about her own daughter as if I’m in the wrong… nope, it’s an old game. People need to be responsible for their actions! It’s about power for cops.”
As it turns out, this isn’t the first time police have made a visit to Britney’s residence. Back in January, they showed up after she suddenly deleted her Instagram account. At that time, Britney herself addressed the situation, explaining why she needed a break from the social media platform.
It’s the latest chapter in Britney Spears’ life, complete with dancing, fake knives, and some unfortunate encounters with the police. Let’s hope things settle down for the Princess of Pop, and she can continue living life on her own terms.
