Federline Flops on Teen Choice Awards

by: Shayla Byrd

K-Fed was introduced by his wife, a very-pregnant Britney Spears who said, “This show has been very good to me and my career over the years, so I’m hoping that it will be as good to our next performer.” The show’s teen audience seemed pleased with his performance, during which Federline rapped about his extravagant, bling and Cristal-filled life as a celebrity: “Don’t hate because I’m a superstar! And I’m married to a superstar! Nothin’ come between us no matter who you are!” left However internet fans were not as easily swayed. On sites across the net the feedback comments were similar to those of user heartleigh who wrote on YouTube “Um, the backup dancer had more talent.” Major players in the hip hop industry weren’t feeling K-Fed either. “He’s a joke, basically. ... I just don’t think he gets it,” XXL editor Elliot Wilson told the AP. “He doesn’t get that he’s Britney’s man and it’s hard to take him seriously.” Jermaine Hall, executive editor of King magazine, agrees. “The thing that really hurts him is the fact that he’s perceived as Britney’s husband,” Hall told the AP. “You know, kinda like Britney’s second — I don’t even want to say second in command, but — he’s like the Britney Boy. He’s like Mrs. Spears, and it’s kinda hard to get over that perception.” But bad reviews aside, Federline seems proud of his small screen hip hop debut. “I’m happy,” he told People magazine. “I think I pulled it off pretty well. [But] I’m overly critical of myself.” The rapper will release a video for “Lose Control” on September 5 and his first album is due in October. Watch K.
