Bobby Brown Criticizes Spears' 'My Prerogative' Cover

Bobby Brown has criticized Britney Spears' 2004 cover of his hit song 'My Prerogative,' calling it a 'butchering' during his appearance on Shannon Sharpe's 'Club Shay Shay' podcast. Brown explained that his disappointment with Spears' cover led him to now require hearing any proposed covers or samples of his work before granting approval. He admitted that he approved Spears' version due to her celebrity and his mistaken belief that Teddy Riley was the producer, when in fact Bloodshy & Avant handled production. Brown stated that no artist has done justice to his music, particularly singling out Spears' rendition as unsatisfactory. Fans have shown mixed reactions, with some supporting Brown and others defending Spears. Britney Spears has not responded publicly to Brown’s remarks.
