Britney Spears just proved that when it comes to throwing shade, she's got the wit and the warmth to do it perfectly. And for her target, Spears chose none other than pop prince Justin Bieber. Britney succeeded in sassing Bieber and simultaneously disowning reports of a collaboration while also providing a network news-worthy summary of his nude antics and her own face-to-face meeting with Justin (everyone was clothed).
Talking to BBC Radio 1's Scott Mills, Spears responded first to a question about if she might collaborate with Bieber in the near future. The pop princess smoothly denounced those reports and segued to his infamous skinny dipping display, reported Cosmpolitan.
"No, there's no truth to that at all," she said about the collaboration rumors before moving onto his nude antics.
"Did you see what happened to him the other day? Like, didn't he, like, expose himself? Yeah, that was insane."
Britney then seemed to consider trying to comprehend what happened during Justin's nude antics, questioning the news value.
"Like, I don't understand what went on there," she said of Bieber's skinny dipping. "Was that on the news and stuff?"
That was the point where Spears succeeded in throwing shade by claiming that she felt Justin looked like a "kid" and that she didn't recognize him when they met several years ago.
"I met him," she recalled. "It's weird. Like, probably three years ago on Femme Fatale. He walks into my hotel room, and he was like a kid! Literally, he looked like he was 13 years old, but he was 16."
Britney admitted demanding to know who the "kid" in her hotel room was, noting that she was stunned when she found out it was Bieber.
"I was like, 'Who is this kid in my hotel?…And [Justin's] mom is like, 'Is there a suntanning bed located in here?!' And I'm like, 'Who are these people?' " she recounted.
"My assistant was like, 'This is Justin Bieber and his mother.' And I was like, 'Oh my god! I cannot believe this.'"
However, Spears pointed out that Bieber is older, describing him as a "nice boy" who was modest.
"He's very unassuming," she added. "He's a very nice, kind boy. He's obviously way older now. He was extremely kind. So."
And while Britney got sassy about Justin, the Biebs' mentor Usher had a different take on his protege, including commenting about that never-to-be-forgotten nude parade, noted ET.
Usher didn't try to hide his challenges in mentoring Bieber when he talked with Howard Stern on his Sirius XM radio show. The 37-year-old confessed that guiding the now-22-year-old crooner has involved some tough love.
"We've had stern talks."
But the former coach on The Voice pointed out that perfection is impossible to achieve. Consequently, when Justin has what Usher describes as "moments," he seeks to point him in the right direction.
"Nobody's perfect. You're gonna have moments," commented the musical mastermind. "And when he does, I can only show him the reality of what it is that has happened."
However, when Stern asked if he secretly guided Bieber to stage those nude photo opportunities for paparazzi last year, with a repeat performance skinny dipping in Hawaii, Usher made it clear that was not his idea.
"He does have a brain of his own," he noted. "What [Justin] chose to do with his penis is his prerogative."
Consequently, Usher steers clear of the private part of Bieber's life, and that includes the "Sorry" singer's private parts.
"He's managing that aspect of his life," he emphasized.
"I have nothing to do with Justin Bieber's private parts."
Justin's mentor also revealed that he feels as if the singer is like a child, and he feels empathy for him.
"He's like a child to me so I don't necessarily feel like his business. I feel like I'm talking to someone who has hardships," clarified Usher. "Like, if your child ever has difficulties… anyone listening understands that nobody's perfect."
