During his recent interview at ‘Club Shay Shay,’ Brown may have rubbed fans of Usher the wrong way for comparing the R&B icon to Chris Brown but their response was nothing compared to that of Britney’s supporters.

The 56-year-old, while reflecting on artists who have covered or sampled his hits over the years, took aim at Spears for her 2004 cover of his signature hit ‘My Prerogative.’

“I don’t think [anyone has] really done justice to any of the samples that they have done to my songs,” he shared with host Shannon Sharpe. “Britney Spears butchered ‘My Prerogative’…”Teddy Riley produced it. But that was a butchering. I couldn’t take it.”

His critical pan of ‘Prerogative’ ignited a firestorm of debate on social media about whose version was better – a conversation that even spilled to Brown’s social media pages with members of the #BritneyArmy dissing him for blasting Britney’s cover.

At writing, Brown’s not responded to the hoopla caused by his statement.
