Nicki Minaj has slammed Britney Spears’ ex-husband Kevin Federline after he claimed their children were ‘not seeing her right now’ and that they found her nude Instagram posts ‘tough’. 

The former backing dancer, 44, told ITV that their sons Sean and Jayden have ‘decided they are not seeing her right now’.

He also said the boys decided not to go to their mum’s recent wedding with Sam Asghari.

Federline, who also has two daughters from another relationship, said the boys found it ‘tough’ seeing their mum’s social media posts.

In response, Spears shared a statement on Instagram, in which she said: “It saddens me to hear that my ex-husband has decided to discuss the relationship between me and my children …

“As we all know, raising teenage boys is never easy for anyone … it concerns me the fact that the reason is based on my Instagram … I gave them everything … Only one word: HURTFUL … I’ll say it … My mother told me “You should GIVE them to their dad” … I’m sharing this because I can … Have a good day folks !!!”

Now rapper Minaj, who supported Spears on tour back in 2011, has thrown support behind her pal, branding Federline a ‘clown’.

During an Amp livestream, she said: “Do you understand what kind of a clown you have to be to be a whole, grown f*****g man, and as soon as you see somebody happy and getting married and moving on and being free and feeling good in their own skin, to do the very thing that you know is going to attempt to break them down?

“Going to the media. Only cowards use the media against a famous person who they once loved, they procreated with, they’re being taken care of by, they once were being taken care of by, using the person’s fame as this constant ‘gotcha’ moment.”

She went on to say that she hoped ‘karma’ would come for Federline and stated that Spears ‘loves her kids more than life itself’.

Minaj continued: “As soon as y’all see people feeling strong and good and confident and happy, and you no longer have them by the f**king balls… you wanna take your little goofy ass to do some motherf**king interview?

“How dare you. How dare you encourage this woman’s children to be a part of your nonsense, When they look back, they’re gonna say, ‘Why, why, why did we do this?’ They’re kids.

“They don’t know how detrimental this is. But you know, c**ksucker.”
