Britney Spears’ husband, Kevin Federline, performed last week-end to Teen Choice Award at Los Angeles, making his debut in the hip-hop community with his first single called ‘Lose control’. My premonitions were right about all his so called hip-hop career he wanted to have. I hope he didn’t expect us to speak highly about him only because he’s Britney’s husband. By the way, at the Teen Choice Award, he was introduced by Britney. His performance, his debut and his entire ’show’ was a disaster.

The Editor in Chief of XXL magazine, Elliot Wilson said that ‘I think we ignore him. He’s a joke, basically. I just don’t think he gets it. He doesn’t get that he’s Britney’s man and it’s hard to take him seriously’. Also Executive Editor of King magazine, Jermaine Hall said ‘The thing that really hurts him is the fact that he’s perceived as Britney’s husband. You know, kinda like Britney’s second - I don’t even want to say second in command, but - he’s like the Britney Boy’. Hopefully, he learnt his lesson and maybe he’ll now start to be a real husband and dad.

The hip-hop artist, Lil’ Wayne will release a new album with Birdman.

The new album will include the first single ‘Stuntin’ Like My Daddy’.

Lil’Wayne and Birdman, they both featured on the other’s releases but ‘there’s nothing like spittin’ off the same page’, said the hip-hop celebrities. In the same time Lil’ Wayne received platinum status for his fifth studio album, ‘The Carter II’ and an award for MTV ‘Sucker Free MC of the Year” nomination.
