Though the media and their respective fan bases pit them as rivals for most of their 20+-year careers, Pop princesses Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera have put in the work to quash the notion they’re anything of the sort.

The latter has been particularly vocal about her support of her GRAMMY-winning counterpart, taking to a number of interviews to express her admiration and appreciation of the ‘Baby One More Time’ hitmaker.

For that reason and others, her supporters – affectionately known as #Fighters – were particularly interested in her commentary on the hoopla surrounding Spears and her highly publicized bid to end her 13-year conservatorship.  The subject exploded across headlines last week due to the Pop diva’s court testimony – a scene that saw her finally break her silence on the matter including the alleged abuse she’s endured under the legally binding arrangement.

As the media, legal experts, fans, and spectators continue discussion around the hot topic, Xtina’s joined the chorus.  Look inside to see what the powerhouse songstress said Monday night (June 28).

The soundtrack for ‘F9,’ the ninth installment of the wildly successful ‘Fast & Furious’ film franchise, boasts a tracklist with some of Hip Hop’s heaviest hitters including ASAP Rocky, Jack Harlow, the late Pop Smoke, Ty Dolla $ign, and more.

Yet, a clear standout of the bunch is the Don Toliver, Latto, and Lil Durk-driven ‘Fast Lane,’ which was recently given the video treatment in celebration of the June 25 release of ‘F9.’

Directed by Michael Garcia, the action-packed visual – much like the movie it supports – is an homage to the fast lane and the fast life as its main characters race the streets and stunt in foreign, expensive cars.

Ushered into chart battle by her highest Hot 100 charting singles to date (the Chris Brown-assisted ‘Come Through,’ YG-assisted ‘Slide’ and ‘Damage’) as well as excitement generated by her highly publicized wins at this year’s GRAMMYs and Academy Awards, anticipation for the 21-track LP was also ramped by its impressive guest list which featured the likes of Chris Brown, DJ Khaled, Bryson Tiller, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Baby, and more.

Look inside to see just how that buzz translated commercially.

Britney Spears‘ younger sister Jamie Lynn Spears has broken her silence on the singer’s bombshell court testimony.

As reported, the Pop icon shared a harrowing account of her experience under conservatorship – a legal agreement that has governed her personal and professional life for thirteen years

Spears’ remarks shocked many, whose jaws were left ajar upon hearing her articulate that she has been “lying” about being happy. Instead, she stressed that she feels “depressed” and “cries every day” because of the conservatorship – which she describes as “abusive.”

Insisting that she is no one’s “slave,” she unpacked a version of events that alleged medical impropriety, unfathomable levels of control exerted over her, and a diminished relationship with her family (who she says she wants to sue).

Naturally, it’s placed an intense spotlight on said family – with those who haven’t spoken out being just as scrutinized as those who have.

After being swarmed on social media, Jamie Lynn has issued a statement.
